61 Burgemeester ReigerstraatPerfect place to go with the kids and have dinner.
Really good restaurant in a fantastic location, on the 9th and 10th floor of an old watertower with a beautiful view of the city. The restaurant is very populair, and mostly book full for weeks. But you can aways give them a call to see if they have a free spot, or go there for lunch.

Visiting Tivoli Vredenburg is already worth it for the architecture of the building. This new home of the musicvenue opened only 3 years ago.
You can find concerts and dancenights of every music style around. Have a look at their agenda to see what's up.

The Centraal Museum is the main museum in Utrecht, Netherlands, founded in 1838. The museum has a wide-ranging collection, mainly of works produced locally. The collection of the paintings by the Northern Mannerist Joachim Wtewael is by a long way the largest anywhere in the world. Other highlights are many significant paintings by the Utrecht Caravaggisti, such as Gerard van Honthorst and Hendrick ter Brugghen. Both of them travelled to Rome in the early 17th century to study the works of the Italian master Caravaggio.

Great for kids!
Museum Speelklok (previously known as Museum van Speelklok tot Pierement) is a museum in Utrecht, The Netherlands. It has a collection of automatically playing musical instruments, most of which still work and therefore still can play their music. Among the instruments on display are music boxes, musical clocks, pianolas, barrel organs (including the typically Dutch large street organs) and a turret clock with carillon. The word speelklok means musical clock.
Over the years the museum has become popular nationwide and also internationally. The museum's restoration workshops are a leader in their field, and are known for their excellent standards.
