Most reviewed Points of Interest & Landmarks in Utrecht Province
4.5Onze-Lieve-Vrouwetoren(251 reviews) - Beautiful views but plan beforehand Points of Interest & Landmarks
i saw some reviews of people who wanted to climb the tower but found a closed door: be aware that you have to buy your tickets beforehand at the VVV (the Dutch tourist office). Only during summer months there are daily tours to the top of the tower:in July and August every day between 12.00 and 18.00. Outside the summer season there is only one daily tour starting at 14.00. So yes, you get the added benefit of being far from the maddening crowd of Amsterdam, but this goes with reduced opening hours. The views from the top are stunning, and you get to climb up much higher than most towers (to the final trans). When we got the tour, we were the only two people and the tour guide switched effortlessly to English (I'm Dutch but my partner isn't). The tour guide times the guide so that you are close to the carillion when it goes to play, so you can hear the bells from very close.See more..

4.0Paleis Soestdijk(177 reviews) - Guided tour of the palace Soestdijk Points of Interest & Landmarks
It's not what I expected from a palace. Bit sober. Walking and having a picknick on a summer day in the gardens of the palace, is a very good idea, while you still can, at least till the end of 2017, because it is sold and will be rebuild into a hotel and a innovative working area.See more..

4.5Sint Willibrordkerk(87 reviews) - A beautiful, beautiful catholic church in a protestant Utrecht.. Points of Interest & Landmarks
You wouldn't expect a catholic church to be built in such a grand style in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. This after all - is majority protestant in the lands "above the river", and yet, here we are.. I lived in the neighbourhood of Utrecht for years, and never knew. It was - as are all catholic churches - "well hidden in plain view". Such churches were also called "Schuilkerken" - or hidden churches. They were designed to look like villas on the outside, but were churches on the inside.. So too this church. It's been recently purchased by a French order, and mass is celebrated in the traditional latin. So if you'd like to see mass as it used to be celebrated in the 14th century, head down here. its quite an experienceSee more..

4.0Anne Frank Standbeeld(57 reviews) - Anne Frank in Utrecht Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
This we'll known statue of Anne Frank was a gift of the children of Utrecht. They collected old paper and iron to pay for the statue. It was a gift on April 30th 1959, the day former Queen Julia celebrated her birthday. Utrecht artist Pieter d'Hont is the artist. I like the self assured posture of Anne Frank here. For me she represents here "strenght" &"hope". Her diary being translated in more then 70 languages, being present in the centre of Utrecht (near the flower market) is a symbol of just that. Head up and giving the people something to remember; you go girl! See more..

3.0De Plofsuis(4 reviews) - Een uniek onderdeel van de Hollandse waterlinie Points of Interest & Landmarks
Tot voor kort heb ik me bij passage van de Plofsluis vaak afgevraagd waarvoor dient dit vreemde object toch? Tot ik op TV een documentaire zag die verhaalde over de Hollandse waterlinie in de eerste helft van de 20 ͤ-eeuw. De Plofsluis was onderdeel van de Hollandse Waterlinie. Door het onderwater zetten van hele gebieden (inundaties) hoopte men de vijand buiten de deur te kunnen houden. Om te voorkomen dat de onder water gezette gebieden via het Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal zouden leeglopen, werd de Plofsluis gebouwd. In 1937 werd begonnen met de bouw van wat officieel ‘de Keersluis te Jutphaas bij km 43’ werd genoemd. Door de bodem van het betonnen gevaarte op te blazen, zou er in een keer 40.000 ton puin uit het gebouw in het water vallen en het hele kanaal afdammen. De sluis is in 1940 gereed gekomen naar een ontwerp van waterstaatsingenieur ir. J.P. Jitta. De sluis is niet gebruikt in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De oorlog bracht wel een langdurige vertraging in de ingebruikname van het kanaal.See more..
4.0Watertoren Woerden(4 reviews) - The Crown of Woerden Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
The 28m high water tower is located at the north side of Woerden. It was built in 1908 and it was used until 1979.

I just took some pictures as I'm always interested in water tower especially in America with the name of the town.See more..

We were taken here by relatives as part of a longer day of events. It's maybe 15 minutes out from Utrecht and on one of the driving routes from Amsterdam. The windmill was operating in fairly strong winds. It was amazing to see this centuries-old technology. In strong wind these turn out to develop tremendous power. The host spent nearly an hour showing us everything in both Dutch and English. It fascinated everyone in our group, ages 11 - 64. An unexpected big hit! Three notes: first it was windy (duh) but therefore pretty chilly, in August, so bring layers. Second, it's only open on Saturdays. Third, to get into the windmill itself you climb multiple ladders.See more..
4.0Park Seminarie(2 reviews) - Beautiful Walking Area Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas • Scenic Walking Areas

The "Veenmolen" is a grain mill located on the edge of a village called Wilnis. Large parts of this landscape have undergone a double metamorphosis in recent centuries: from land to water (by peatification) and back to land (reclamation). The mill is open every Saturday between 10:00 - 16:00 unless otherwise stated on this website. We also participate annually in the National Mills Day and Heritage Days. Once, there were over 10.000 windmills in Holland. Different types of windmills existed, with various purposes: milling grain, pumping water out of polders, pressing oil, sawing wood, grinding spice, et cetera. The Dutch made themselves a name worldwide with windmills. As a result of industrialisation, the windmills passed out of use and became idle. Many fell into decay and disappeared altogether. Now there are only about 1000 windmills left, which are kept for their cultural and historical value.See more..

Beerschoten-Willinkshof is a landscaped park at Hoofdstraat 21. The neoclassical garden temple ( folly ) stands on a slight elevation and offers a view of the overtuin with a winding pond at the botom.
