Utrecht is famous for the iconic Dom Tower, a historic bell tower dating back to the 14th century and the largest church tower of the Netherlands. Standing on the Dom-square in the heart of the city, next-door to the Gothic Cathedral and with the remains of Roman fort ‘Traiectum’ underneath.
Utrecht is the fourth largest city in the country with a unique and historic city center and canal belt. The canal belt in Utrecht is unique in the country and different from the canal belt in Amsterdam or other old Dutch cities. The canals of Utrecht are one floor below the street level, with cellar wharfs, originally for storage, going underneath the houses. Today, the canals and cellar wharfs are home to shops, restaurants and private residences.
