Some fun facts about Utrecht courtesy of Wiki:
- Utrecht is host to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutions of higher education.
- Due to its central position within the country, it is an important transport hub for both rail and road transport.
- It has the second highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam
- In 2012, Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world’s unsung places
Needless to say, we were sold after a few walking tours via Google Maps. The city instantly reminded us of a blend between the quaint Belgian cities of Ghent and Bruges.
