Walking route through the Dom district
Distance
4km
The Dom Tower is the highlight and historic symbol of Utrecht, but there is much more to see in the Dom district (Domkwartier). For example, experience the present and the past of Christianity in the Netherlands in the beautiful medieval monastery of Museum Catherijneconvent or go to Museum Speelklok where you will be taken through the wonderful world of self-playing musical instruments. You can also walk the small alleys and find exclusive shops. Or maybe you would like to discover the city in the dark during Trajectum Lumen. This route leads you past all the highlights of this district.
Tip! Dom square (Domplein) is surrounded by nice cafes and restaurants. Perfect to combine with the walking route!
