Why this trip

Canals, towers and an old town you cross on foot in one afternoon: Utrecht is for families a small, manageable city where nobody has to walk far. From April to September the days are mild, and the children have many opportunities to be outdoors. The Dom Tower rises above the city, and anyone who likes climbing stairs experiences from the top how small the houses look. The railway museum delights children with trains, and the Museum Speelklok shows mechanical musical instruments that make school-age children marvel.

A calmer break is offered by the Botanical Garden, where you walk along paths while the children discover plants. De Haar Castle lies outside the city and looks as if from a picture book. There families can spend the day with a walk through park and rooms. Six properties are available for the city.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague lie close by, so a second excursion is possible without you having to change base. For planning, use the consultation by video call.
