Utrecht
Quick fact
Utrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, founded by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago as a fort along the Rhine river.
Fun fact
Utrecht's canal wharves are built at two levels — so there are hidden restaurants and cafés tucked beneath the street right at water level, almost like an underground city!
