Utrecht Canals
Utrecht's canals are unique: they have a lower level of wharves and cellars that have been converted into restaurants, cafes, and terraces at the water level, below the street. Free to walk both levels.
Monument in Utrecht
Dom Tower
The Dom Tower is the tallest church tower in the Netherlands at 112 meters, separated from the cathedral by a gap where the nave collapsed in a storm in 1674. Entry to climb the tower is paid. The Domplein (cathedral square) between the tower and the remaining church is free and unique in Europe for being a square that exists only because a church fell down. Budget travelers photograph the tower, walk through the gap, and decide whether the 465-step climb is worth the ticket.
