To go to the Spoorwegmuseum (railway museum), you first cross the Maliebaan station. It is really a trip back in time with the old station preserved like it used to be. This station is worth it and has free access. Then if you'd like to discover more trains, you can enter the museum.

This bar is all about wine and jenever (Dutch gin). It is a little further from the center of the city but still crowded most of the days because of their great wine tasting course. The course in not an excuses to just drink wine, but you really learn a lot about how to properly taste wine.

It's a great way to get to know the city. Passionate guides will walk you around and tell you all juicy stories and urban myths of Utrecht. The stuff you won’t find in a guide book, highly recommended for anyone that wants to know "fun facts" about the city.

It has a lovely garden (botanic garden), and has different departments, one for the kids. But also art galleries, and just a lot of science. It is very interactive and not very crowded. Perfect place to relax or want to learn something new.

The tower of the 'Domkerk' (Domchurch) is 112 m and 32 cm (369 ft) in height. That makes the tower the highest church tower in the Netherlands.
Locals love the Domkerk because of the possibility to climb the tower. On 95 meter you have a breathtaking view of the complete city and its green surroundings.

At the Louis Hartlooper Complex you can first eat, then go the movies and afterwards have a beer, all in one building. It's always packed with young people. It serves great food (lunch, diner and snacks) for good value. The building alone is worth a visit.

Lately, escape rooms have found their way into Utrecht. This one is particularly nice, since it has two different rooms. The best one is called the Bank Job in which you and up to five others are locked into a bank vault and need to figure out how to get as much money of out it within an hour. Real fun for groups of friends or family!

You need a group of at least 2 people. I would though recommend 3-4 people. It pumps you with adrenaline and balances out all the museums and parks visits. It is one of a kind and any further description would be a spoiler. Just try it and you will not regret!

It is not a common place for the locals to go, most people just go there to park the car. But it is a shame that not a lot of people are aware of the view from the top deck.
