Guidebook for Utrecht
Sightseeing
Its a beautifully restored castle with large grounds , a deer park and maze. Kids will love it but also very suitable for a romantic walk and drink or lunch in the stable cafe!
This is our favourite weekend bike ride with the family as its a lovely route through the countryside past local farm shops just on 20 min bike ride away.
Recommended also is to combine your bike ride with the nearby small pittoresk village of Haarzuilen which has two great retaurants for typical dutch pancakes!
