Utrecht is a beautiful city that is full of sights to see and things to do, yet it has a more relaxed atmosphere than the other major Dutch cities. Known for its serene, ancient canals, its remarkable architecture, its university, its musuems, and its churches, the city offers a wide range of attractions to explore, most of which are conveniently clustered in the relatively small city centre. The centre is also full of shops of every description and a wide variety of cozy restaurants and cafés. Many of the cobblestone streets and squares in the centre are for pedestrians only, making sightseeing and shopping by foot more easy and enjoyable. Utrecht also has some beautiful parks and gardens, and a number of old castles, both on the outskirts of the city and a bit further afield.
