Things to do in Canals Utrecht
Navigating by Utrech canals is the essential and best way to discover the city. Oudegracht and Nieuwegracht are its two main canals and are surrounded by historic buildings, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, bridges, and lush trees running through the entire historic city center.
The canals were built as a navigation route at the beginning of the 12th century. The water-level cellars and terraces connected directly with the warehouses of the houses and shops. Today, these basements have been transformed into cafes and restaurants, turning the canal into a very long terrace where you can enjoy a pleasant day.
Get your tickets to explore Utrecht by boat tours, cruises, or guided tours and discover its architectural landmarks. A must-see for every tourist.

Reviews Canals Utrecht
“Rondvaart duurde 45 minuten ipv een uur maar dat is ook meer dan genoeg. Leuke impressie van Utrecht, zeker toen het op 6 april zulk prachtig weer was. Schipper was nieuw en kwam uit Amsterdam dus we hadden alleen een bandje met info.”
“The staff were friendly and the announcer was clear and easy to understand. The boat was comfortable and clean. The history of the Port was awesome. I really enjoyed the trip.”
