Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Utrecht is the treasure cove of Holland. There are vast nature reserves and towering castles that mystify the mind and connect you with the rich history and unspoiled nature of the place. Walk or cycle along the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie and explore the breathtaking natural beauty, as well as the historic fortresses where you can even spend the night.
We also suggest a quick visit to the Dom Tower, which happens to be the oldest and highest church tower in the country. If you are feeling particularly ambitious, you can dare yourself to climb the 465 steps of the tower, and gaze at the beauteous landscapes of Utrecht.
