Unique Utrecht: Revisiting this Iconic Dutch City 

So cool, right? And thanks for the pronunciation encouragement!

Oh absolutely! It’s a gorgeous museum, you could spend hours there.

We walked past the Museum Speelklok in our travels there, looked super interesting! We'll add it to our list for our next visit.

Just commented suggesting the same! A local friend took us there last year - utterly delightful.

Thanks @Soul to Soul Travels! Hope you're enjoying a well-deserved break!

Amersfoort has been our list for a very long time, hopefully we will get a chance to see it soon!

Lol!

Agreed! We were up in Ijmuiden a few months back and saw (we think) a bunker museum of some sort. Ever since then, we've been very interested in exploring.

Ever heard of margraten cemetery? Where the dutch can / have adopted Graves of American soldiers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KZxHmA5vCEA.html

Oh wow! That's so neat. We'll be back sometime soon, we make it out to Utrecht every 2 months or so!

Always a pleasure seeing your comments, Jack!

Such a great city. Hugs right back to you!

Amazing suggestions, thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing!

You're the best Hans, thank you for watching!

We visited Kasteel de Haar last year and vlogged about it actually. Such a magical place.

@@TAndTGoDutch Okay then nice. That was before I found you on youtube. maybe take a look at those old pictures

It was such a beautiful museum, we're so glad you enjoyed seeing it again!

Lol! So glad you enjoyed your time in Utrecht. It's such a special city.

Both the tunnel and the museum are must-visits! Travis is way more comfortable biking than I am, for sure.

Amazing, Utrecht is an awesome city. Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for the tip! That sounds cool

We absolutely missed that. We'll need to do that on our next visit (we were a bit rushed with our dinner reservation.) Thank you so much!

Ha, no we haven’t encountered them, fortunately. We tend to try to go at more off-peak times, so maybe that’s why. Museum Speelklok is on our list to see on our next visit. Thanks for the recommendation!

Such a great place to visit. Thank you for watching, Marco.

@@TAndTGoDutch maybe we see each other in Leiden. 👍🏻It's not a very big city. 👋🏻

*ABSOLUTELY !*

Oh yes, we passed that while we were visiting. Next time!

Lol! Having a RU-vid channel definitely forces us to ensure we're seeing more of the country.

We have been wanting to go to Dordrecht, it's absolutely on our list!

Off topic question, because I don't recall: Do you have a video about finding a place to live in Leiden? (How you went about it. The challenges. The prices.)

We do! It's part of our "What we wish we knew before moving to The Netherlands series." If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us on instagram, we'll do our best to help!

We had such a limited amount of time there (we made it close to closing.) We'll definitely need to go back and check it out though!

Hi :) Hmmm sadly I don't think it's the easiest city to visit as a wheelchair user, I have to say... The train station and many of the modern buildings are accessible and in most quieter areas you will be able to use the cycle paths if the sidewalk isn't even enough, but many of the historic buildings and some of the historic streets are not exactly wheelchair friendly. For example the Oudegracht from the beginning of the video - I don't think there's an elevator / escalator down to the lower level and even the higher level is paved with bricks (no asphalt). Buses have a wheelchair spot and a ramp the driver (or a helpful passenger) will flip out of the bus. However, only one wheelchair per bus will fit. Trams should be level, but if there's a gap there's a similar plank. Wheelchair taxi's exist ('rolstoeltaxi' / 'rolstoelvervoer') but they're quite expensive. If there's anything specific you'd like to know, feel free to message me. Disclaimer: I am not a wheelchair user myself, so all I can do is use my knowledge, common sense and Google in Dutch.

Thanks, @Snowshowslow! That was incredibly thorough and much better than we could ever explain.

@@TAndTGoDutch 🤗

Every building more than 2 stories from ground must have a elevator. In this country being hadicapped is no issue, almost every building has some solution for it. no worries.

The so called nave of the original gothic cathedral was destroyed in 1674 during a huge storm and it was never rebuild.

@@skippynoah Aah that makes sense, I knew it was destroyed, just a lot longer ago then I thought. It is true that the square is the old church floor including the "rijke stinkers" right? The people who were buried in the church instead of the churchyard?

@@Infyra sorry, the history of the church and its square is quite complicated. First it was a graveyard, later there were also houses for and there was a piece of a church. I don’t know who are burried there.

Oh gosh! Your poor mom! Yes, I suppose it was a wise decision.

You don't have the guts to stay in Italy. Finally you prefer complaining in your comfortzone and looking forward to your comfortable holidays as a lifestyle. You are one of these typical Dutch who only can talk about holidays as a subject the whole year through and forget to live for the rest of the time.

And Utrecht actually even got its name from 2000 years ago : Ultra-trajectum. Trajectum became in Dutch : ....trecht or, ...drecht .
