Nature Reserve Amelisweerd
“After a long walk through Amelisweerd, I feel refreshed and re-energized. Being in the midst of such rich flora and fauna is a unique feeling.”

Fortress bij Rijnauwen
“It’s hard to miss Fort Rijnauwen if you go on your morning runs around the forest in Amelisweerd. The history behind the walls adds a bit of character to the forest and its beautiful flora and fauna. The sunset walks there are amazing too, definitely check it out in the early months of May, when it’s the perfect weather”

Park Lepelenburg
“If you are looking for a location somewhere easy to access from Utrecht Centraal and also having some supermarket options, that is your destination. It is not the biggest park in Utrecht but one of my favorite so far!”

The munt
“Ever since I was a kid, I've been coming to La Monnaie in the summer. You're just outside the center, but right in the hustle and bustle. Swimming, relaxing, skating: everything is possible ”

Griftpark
