5/5 - Excellent
Utrecht is the perfect alternative (and base in The Netherlands) to Amsterdam - which is so heavily run-over with tourists - you still get to enjoy the canals & get a feel for the local culture in a much more laid back city.

Utrecht City Center is noteworthy for its historical sites, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Town Hall and Tivoli.

Zuidwest is noteworthy for its restaurants, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Holland Casino Utrecht and Jaarbeurs.

While visiting Neude Janskerkhof en Domplein, you might make a stop by sights like Oudegracht and Neude.

If you're spending some time in Museumkwartier, Tivoli and Oudegracht are top sights worth seeing.

Lombok is well liked for its restaurants, and you can visit sights like Beatrix Theater and Jaarbeurs if you have time to explore the area.

Travellers like the museums in Utrecht Science Park, and Utrecht Botanical Gardens is a top attraction you might want to visit.
