Utrecht lies in the shadow of Amsterdam, somewhat unknown to visitors, though I've heard of lots of people who prefer living there to Amsterdam, actually. A cute university town, it's a busy and prosperous city with all the benefits of Amsterdam (shopping, canals, public transportation, etc), but without the tourists. Which is always nice.
The other day we endured the 30 minute train ride (just horrible, I know) and set out to explore Utrecht.
Now posting at Needle and Compass!
