Utrecht

Utrecht is a city located about 30 kilometers west of Amsterdam in the Netherlands✨. It has historically developed as the religious center of the country. One of the highlights is the canals near Utrecht Central Station. Along the canal piers, there are numerous cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy a leisurely meal✨. The old canals were constructed around the 12th century and were used for transportation and flood prevention. However, with the creation of locks, the water level in the canals became consistently regulated, leading to the construction of piers and many wine cellars along the canals🍷. Today, you can enjoy a relaxing meal by the canals✨.

Oudegracht

Utrecht is a small yet very beautiful city in the Netherlands. It is reachable by train and other type of transportation for only 30 minutes from Amsterdam. Utrecht has many canals, and it is famous also for the restaurants along the canals which can be a little bit pricey. Overall, it is a very relaxing city for you to hang around, as this city also has a university, so most people here are students #HalloTrip
