At the mention of the Netherlands, people often think of Amsterdam or the windmills of Holland – an unfortunate thing, given how beautiful and historical the rest of the country’s cities can be. Take Utrecht, for example. One of the Netherlands’ oldest cities, this laid-back city is home to numerous examples of Dutch history, heritage, and culture, such as its medieval town, cathedrals, and numerous museums. You will never run out of things to do in Utrecht. With numerous canals running through the city, one could even call Utrecht a more historical, rustic version of Amsterdam.
Now that you’ve gotten to know Utrecht, why not explore all the wonders it has to offer? Here are the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Utrecht, Netherlands.
