Its history goes back to the Roman Period, Ultraiectum. It is also the hometown of Miffy\u2019s creator, illustrator Dick Bruna, who lived and worked in Utrecht his whole life. A few years ago, Utrecht\u2019s Centraal Museum decided to create a permanent exhibition called Nijntje (Miffy Museum) to honour Bruna and his illustrations. This child-orientated attraction has several play areas and theme rooms based on Mr. Bruna\u2019s characters.<\/p>\n<p>A highlight is strolling along the beautiful Oudegracht, the\u00a0old canal\u00a0running through the city center. Starting in the southeast section of the city, the Oudegracht traces, in part, what was once the original route of a section of the Rhine,<br \/>\nOnce Utrecht&#8217;s network of locks was completed in 1275, the shores of the canal began to be settled, with numerous quays, wharves, and warehouses added. Today, many of these old buildings and their cellars have been turned into restaurants, caf\u00e9s, galleries, and boutique shops.<\/p>\n<p>The Cathedral and Dom Tower, which has been standing in Utrecht\u2019s city center since the 14<sup>th<\/sup> century, is likely the most iconic building in the city. It was originally built to accompany a nearby church called St Martin\u2019s Cathedral, but became a freestanding bell tower after a catastrophic storm halted the building. The Oudegracht, houses unique historical shipyards. The rich past of Utrecht creates unexpected encounters.<\/p>\n<p>The Rietveld Schr\u00f6der house was years ahead of its time, this small but uniquely conceived house was built in 1924 by celebrated Utrecht designer Gerrit Rietveld. He&#8217;d be amazed to find that it&#8217;s now a Unesco-recognised monument.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"AfbStad alignnone wp-image-3529\" src=\"https:\/\/guidedtoursbyisabelle.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TerHaar-20230913_105423.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guidedtoursbyisabelle.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TerHaar-20230913_105423.jpg 700w, https:\/\/guidedtoursbyisabelle.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TerHaar-20230913_105423-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/guidedtoursbyisabelle.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TerHaar-20230913_105423-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the vicinity of Utrecht you can find the most beautiful castles, Amerongen, Huis Doorn where the last Emperor of Germany lived and died.
