Question 2

Is Utrecht walkable?

Accepted Answer

Utrecht is very walkable. The Dom Tower, Oudegracht, Museum Quarter and the station area are close together.

When you want a lift, U-OV tram 20/21 and bus 28 run between Centraal and the Science Park, and bus 2 circles the Museum Quarter. For comfort or nearby day trips, consider a private tour in Utrecht.
