Local knowledge for Utrecht
Where to stay
Most hostels cluster near Utrecht Centraal or along the Oudegracht, the main canal that runs through the old city. Staying anywhere between Vredenburg and the Domplein puts you within walking distance of most sights and keeps transit costs at zero for the bulk of your trip.
Getting around
- Utrecht is about 30 minutes from Amsterdam by intercity train. If Amsterdam hostel prices look painful, basing yourself here and day-tripping in saves a noticeable amount on accommodation, often more than the train fare costs.
- Janskerkhof square runs a street market on Saturday mornings. It is a practical spot to pick up cheap lunch supplies if your hostel has a kitchen.
- The Dom Tower is the obvious landmark and the guided interior climb has an entry fee. The view from Domplein at the base costs nothing and is worth a few minutes on its own.
When to go
November through February tends to be the cheapest window. July and August fill hostels fast, and the days around King's Day on April 27 bring a secondary spike worth booking around early.
