Experience Utrecht like a local, a true ‘Utregter’
Make your trip to Utrecht unforgettable by paddling through the canals in a canoe. It’s an amazing and healthy way to marvel at the historical canal houses, vaulted cellars, and charming restaurants that simply ooze ambiance.
You may have to watch your head as you pass under the occasional low bridge, but as long as you remember to duck, that shouldn’t stop you from joining in on the fun. If for no other reason than the coffeehouse and dinner bar Tijm, which has set up a drive-through (or should we say sail-through) in the back where canoeists, rowers and other boaters can order beer, coffee and other tasty treats.
