Netherlands and has been a religious center for centuries. It's got a medieval old town, canals, Christian landmarks and a venerable university.

Coach Charter Germany will suggest the top 10 points to be included in your curriculum while exploring Utrecht as follows:
1. Museum of Railways
In reality, this fascinating railway museum is housed in one of Utrecht 's old railway stations and is located in the eastern part of the city. The museum has recently been restored and a new building has been opened next to the train station. Inside the museum you can find a wide variety of railway memorabilia, displays and restored station rooms. The museum is divided into four sections – Dream Journeys, Steel Creatures, The Workshop and The Great Discovery. Besides the main quarters, there is also a model railway, a playground for children. This is a perfect place to visit, and the whole family will enjoy history and visual displays.
2. Utrecht's Dom Tower
This huge structure covers the city and is one of the most emblematic landmarks of Utrecht. The tower is distinct from that of St. Martin's Cathedral and was built in 1321. The Dom Tower is situated at a height of 112.5 m above the center of Utrecht and can be seen for miles around. The tower contains a set of 14 bells that weigh a total of 32,000, often the bells are also ringed by a community of dedicated ringers. There is a visitor center where you can find a detailed history of the tower and a gift shop, and you can even have tours that encourage you to click.
3. Museum of the Central
It is the main museum in Utrecht and was established in 1838. The museum exhibits an impressive collection of works of art mainly by well-known local artists such as Joachim Wtewael and Gerard Van Honthorst. While historical art is a major attraction, the collection also includes modern art, fashion and applied art. Another interesting aspect is the old ship called the Utrecht Ship, which can be seen in the museum's cellar. This museum is a great place to visit and displays such as Roman coins from the Limes region, a look at law and order, and a number of medieval sculptures make sure that this is the case.
4. Canals of Utrecht
Amsterdam is not the only city in the Netherlands to have a network of canals – Utrecht has an extensive system of canals, most of which are lined with traditional houses and have a lovely area to stroll through. The canals can be found in the city center and are practically magical. There are some small boat tours that run on some canals, but it's also a nice idea to just walk the streets and take them all on foot. Small narrow houses in various colors line the water, some of which have doors opening straight into the canal. Many canals are below the level of the streets that add water.
5. Speelklok Museum
The clock museum is a magical place full of entertainment and wonderful things that will delight people of all ages. The museum is dedicated to clockwork and wind-up objects such as clocks, musical instruments and barrel organs. The whole place is full of noises and moving pieces, and the quality of the exhibits is second to none. Apart from the brilliant tools and pieces, the museum also offers an in-depth look at how these objects are made and the high level of dedication, patience and craftsmanship.
6. Cathedral of St Martin
St. Martin's is the largest cathedral in Utrecht and once connected to the Dom Tower, but since then the nave has collapsed and the two buildings have been separate. This majestic cathedral has been in existence since the Middle Ages and was once the largest church in the Netherlands. The architecture of the cathedral is predominantly Gothic, representing the style found in
France. The remains of the church today are the choir and the transept, and the area that once served as the main nave is now a square full of trees.
7. Botanical Gardens of Utrecht
The famous Botanical Gardens are situated in the University of Utrecht in the eastern part of the city, just off the A28 motorway. Although the gardens are on the outskirts of the city, they are definitely worth a visit. The gardens have a number of fountains, bulbs, trees and a wide range of butterflies. The butterfly greenhouse is simply beautiful with a number of species such as Morpho and Atlas Moths. The actual gardens are divided into six sections, including a rock garden, a fortress with different flowers, and a garden with different flowers.
8. Janskerkhof flower market
Every Saturday there is a huge flower market in Utrecht and it offers a greater range of flowers and seeds to buy than the mostly tulip-oriented market in Amsterdam. The market is held near the Janskerkhof church, which is a short walk from the Dom Tower and the main square. The quality and the cut of the flowers available here are simply incredible and you can buy a wide range of different species along with different potted plants. The smells and colors are very attractive and it's a perfect place to take pictures, soak up the atmosphere and maybe take home a little souvenir.
9. Sint Willibrordkerk
The St. Willibrord Church is a simple and beautiful example of neo-Gothic architecture and is a Roman Catholic church situated near both the Janskerk and Dom Tower buildings in central Utrecht. The church was built in the 1800s, making it a relatively new religious building for the city. The exterior of this building features a tall, narrow design that makes it stand out while the interior is as luxurious and opulent as one would imagine. The beautiful interior is truly a delight, and the bright colors and endless stretches of artwork will leave you astounded.
10. Castle de Haar
This really is a fairy-tale castle – set in the lush gardens and half surrounded by a moat and a lake, it's a secret gem. The buildings feature a Neo-Gothic theme with a handful of pointed turrets and crenulations. The beautiful interior of the castle contains many wooden sculptures and collections of artwork and tapestries. The large gardens are just as impressive as the castles, and the theme is close to that of Versailles.
