Make sure to put Utrecht at the top of your wish list, because there is no better time of year to visit the Dom city. From Christmas markets to light festivals, there are plenty of Christmas activities in Utrecht during your stay at our cosy boutique hotel.
Walking through historic and illuminated Utrecht is something you don't want to miss out on. There are plenty of scenic routes you can walk during the dark hours to experience the magic of the night. Castle De Haar even transforms into a light spectacle during the ‘’Luminous Nights‘’ from 20 December to 5 January in which you walk past fascinating light installations and impressive projections on the castle walls.
The pride of Utrecht will also be in the spotlights by projecting ‘’Colour the City‘’ artworks on various buildings, including the unpacked Dom Tower, from 12 December to 5 January. What is even more special, is that these artworks have been drawn and submitted by Utrecht residents.
Utrecht is the place to be for a good shopping spree. The city is bursting with unique boutiques and cool concept stores. Check out gift shop Keck & Lisa for a striking eye-catcher under the Christmas tree, or visit Puha for their design items with a special story. Both shops are definitely worth a visit.
On 15 December, the Swan Market takes place again at Vredenburg, where small creative entrepreneurs offer their handmade products, this time in a cosy winter atmosphere. And for those still not tired of shopping, the Hoog Catharijne shopping centre is just around the corner, where everything is within reach.
Museum Speelklok brings you immediately into a Christmas vibe during the Musical Tour. Christmas music sounds from all corners - orchestrions and music boxes play the catchiest Christmas songs, and even the self-playing musical Christmas tree comes to life.
During Winter Station, from 21 December to 5 January, the Railway Museum will be lit up by countless lights, Christmas decorations and an antique carousel, giving the museum a romantic winter vibe. The absolute highlight? Ice skating among the trains! Then end the day in our comfy rooms with the film ‘’The Polar Express‘’, a classic!
