The rich medieval city of Utrecht in the Netherlands.

Utrecht is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands and one of the oldest, with a strong medieval atmosphere. I suggest staying in Utrecht for at least 2-3 days. My main itinerary is as follows: 1. City Center: The most representative attraction here is the Dome Church, which is magnificent and has the tallest church tower in Europe. It is surrounded by beautiful canals, with restaurants and shops on both sides. 2. National Museum Area: There are multiple museums, especially the Railway Museum and the Central Museum, with many cultural relics exhibitions inside, worth a visit. 3. Castle Gardens: Here is the largest park in Utrecht, a great place for strolling and relaxing, and there is also a small maze for people to explore. 4. Canal Cruise: Cruising along the canal is the best way to experience the charm of Utrecht. The 40-minute tour allows you to enjoy the scenery of the water town. 🚄Transportation guide: Take a train from Amsterdam Central Station for 30 minutes to reach Utrecht Central Station, with a one-way ticket costing about 10 euros. Walking and cycling are the main modes of transportation in the city, but taxis and buses are also available. 🏩 Regarding accommodation, the average price for hotels within the Utrecht city center is 100-200 euros per night. Cheaper options include homestays or hostels, which cost around 60-120 euros per night. 🍽 In terms of dining, various authentic Dutch dishes, Italian dishes, and cafes, etc., cost about 20-30 euros per meal. ⚠️ Other notes: The weather in the Netherlands can change greatly, so bring rain gear and warm clothing. Dress appropriately when visiting churches and photography is prohibited. Most museums close before 5:00 pm, so visit early. Pay attention to traffic rules when cycling, and cycling is prohibited in the city center. In short, Utrecht is an ancient and romantic city that is worth spending some time exploring. I believe a 2-3 day itinerary can give you a rough idea of the beauty of this city. If you have the chance, be sure to experience the fun of cycling around the town, which will leave a lasting memory of your trip.
