Bed and breakfast & apartments in Utrecht
At the heart of the Netherlands lies one of the oldest Dutch cities and a treasure trove of
culture: Utrecht. Renowned for having some of the country’s best museums, Utrecht offers
the perfect weekend break for those looking to lap up some culture while staying in a local
bed and breakfast or apartment. Up for grabs is a look at the architectural greatness of
Gerrit Rietveld, the history of Christianity in the Netherlands, and musical madness at the
Museum Speelklok, which houses a collection of instruments such as carillon clocks, musical
boxes, Flötenuhren, pianolas and a singing nightingale. The Centraal Museum in Utrecht has
a large collection of works completed by the Dutch Masters of the Golden Age of the 16th
century when they lived in the city.
A bed and breakfast on the waterways
Utrecht is characterised by its canals and almshouses, which provide the perfect backdrop
to your stay in the city. Visitors can chose from a wide array of accommodation in the city,
from traditionally run family hotels and bed and breakfasts to hostels and modern city
apartments. Alternatively, for those who want a riverside seat, the so called ‘Botels’ are a
floating way to spend the night. In summer, campsite and holiday parks are easily accessible
from the city and a good place to stay if travelling with tents and bicycles.
Apartment rental in the Netherlands
Utrecht is a good starting point for further travel, the central train station offering direct
routes to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and international destinations. If you’re looking for a
comfortable and cheap place to stay and some inside advice on where to head to next,
renting an apartment off a local is a good idea. On the website Wimdu you can search for
apartments to rent from local owners, check out reviews and photos of apartments and rate
them for others after your trip. This new way to travel offers travellers a new way to see a
city and a chance to make new friends.
