Our favorite, not the 9 streets Amsterdam, but the seven alleys in Utrecht. One of the last working-class neighborhoods in the center of Utrecht. These characteristic workers' houses between the Oudegracht, the Pelmolenweg, the Geertekerk and the former Martinuskerk are known for their small appearance and network of narrow corridors and alleys and super nice rummage shops.

From country house Rhijnauwen you make a beautiful trip through the woods, to hidden gems in the green. Beautiful estates and a castle make this route a topper!

The Treek

You follow the Old Rhine basin to Landgoed Oostbroek and Zeist, where tree-lined avenues extend the forest into the city. A beautiful cycle path leads you through Boswachterij Austerlitz, part of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park. Forests, heathland, old estates: this is an enormously varied area. You pass Den Treek, an estate whose history dates back to the fourteenth century, with a beautiful nineteenth-century farm and gamekeeper's house. What a picture!
