Everything Else

They have the best cocktails (they are real experts and they have a big menu with a lot of unusual cocktails), it's reasonably priced and most important, a great atmosphere. It does get packed out though, so best to not go too late.

This is our local 'snackbar', you can get chips/fries ('patat' in Dutch) and lots of fried snacks such as 'kroket', 'bitterballen' or frikandel', typically Dutch foods. Not very healthy but worth a try! It's open daily apart from Tuesday until 10pm (but sometimes earlier!).

Great coffee, but don't go here if you're in a rush! They have gluten-free cakes/snacks but other than that no food. Very cosy 'living room' type setting.

Arts & Culture

You have to book a time slot for this museum as it's so small, but it is an amazing house and the audio tour gives a lot of info.

Essentials

This is our local butcher, but also sells bread from a bakery and some fruit and vegetables. They are not cheap but great quality and very near!

Shopping

There are lots of very nice independent shops on Twijnstraat en Oudegracht (Twijnstraat turns into Oudegracht). Have a browse hear and enjoy the canal :)

Parks & Nature

This is nice forest just outside Utrecht, it is easy to get to by bike or car. Most of the trails are walking only (not cycling). This is good for a stroll in nature, but I certainly wouldn't classify it as hiking!

Drinks & Nightlife

There are lots of different bar/cafes here, as well as places where you can have a bite to eat. Especially when the sun is out it is great to sit outside!
