Where you could stay2 nights
Eye Hotel
Byway favourite
This boutique hotel is set within a charming 17th century building and former eye hospital. The rooms are tastefully decorated in soft tones; and the exposed brick walls, wooden floors and open fireplaces create a warm, cosy atmosphere.
Recommendations
- Hop onto the bus to Oud-Zuilen, a small town just outside Utrecht with a peaceful canal, impressive windmills and an enchanting 18th century manor house and gardens.
- Take the local bus or cycle to Castle De Haar - explore the fairytale-like 19th century castle and its stunning gardens.
- Head to the underground bars and restaurants that line the central canal for a night out like a local.
