SMOVECITY Editors

Two Days Along the Oudegracht 2 days · 12 stops · Netherlands

Utrecht rewards slow mornings and long evenings in equal measure. Over two days you'll trace the city's medieval waterways, eat remarkably well across continents without leaving the centre, and settle into the kind of canal-side bars that make locals reluctant to go anywhere else.
