Is Utrecht the better Amsterdam? Travel tips and great places to visit

Disgusting to spend so much money to spray a street in rainbow colors. Don't push it like that.

I just visited Utrecht yesterday, it was a beautiful city with good balance of energy and chaos …..modern and historic ….innovation and tradition
Unfortunately, the wall of the iconic bell tower is still under renovation and won’t be finished by end of 2024

Utrecht is wonderful, have lived there for 15 years. After 10 years abroad I can't wait to return

I just love Utrecht !!!

Channel or kanaal.. don't try to mix langues... if all fail just use Your native language, pretty much the same pronunciation... if everything fails, call it gracht...

Beauty ❤

totally agree, Utrecht is more beautiful than Amsterdam. I wish I can live in Utrecht one day

Great video Matthias! I have visited Amsterdam, but now Utrecht is a must for my next! Also, I thought you were saying psychopath instead of cycle path. They are diverse if they have colorful psychopaths!

The Woke sign of the pedophiles painted on a bicycle lane...welcome to evil Netherlands...!

I wanna be there much but I can not go there , generally, I wanna Amsterdam than other cities

You can also visit a match of FC Utrecht

Glad that I made Utrecht my home base for my vacation then! Medium sized cities in the USA has the same impression as being much more pleasant and enjoyable that the biggest nearby metros.

" This is a town called Utrecht ".... Ouch. That's the city where I live in. How could you.

Habe dieses Video gerade erst entdeckt! Bin Niederländerin wohne aber schon ewig in Süd-West Deutschland. Utrecht ist meine Heimatstadt und habe mich riesig gefreut die Stadt zu sehen! Für mich die schönste Stadt überhaupt!

I born and live in Utrecht it’s my city i love it but i hate so much that ugly rainbow no one likes it i can tell you guys but Utrecht is my heart.

I applyed for phd at Utrecht University. Hope I will be accepted and move this magnificient city🥰

My hometown, ofcourse it's better then Amsterdam! Good video and spot on that Utrecht is not overrun by tourists like Amsterdam and therefore it has a more local feel.

Just be inclusive.. no need for Rainbows.. it looks horrible and visually not appealing.. The minimalist in me really doesn't like it..

Tourists, please stay in Amsterdam and leave Utrecht to us. And that goes for you too, Mr Schwarzer. You think it's a good idea for Utrecht to be overrun by tourists in turn?

Utrecht is a great city! I loved it! When my family and I visited the Netherlands we stayed near Utrecht in Woerden where a friend lives.

The canal tour was a great but I think for a tourist Amsterdam's canal tours are still better. Besides that Utrecht's bike infrastructure and other activities are great!

De "Oudegracht" betekent "Alte Gracht" of "Alter Kanal" in het Duits - maar het Duitse woord "Kanal" wordt in het Nederlands als "Kanaal" geschreven. Hartelijk bedankt voor deze mooie video van mijn geboortestad. Dank U wel!!

I enjoy videos like this of other countries and learning how to pronounce different things and cities. It makes me seem like I'm smart 😄😁😃. Thank you for the video 🇺🇲

Please stay away from Utrecht, don't turn it to a airbnb hellhole like Amsterdam.

Some things are indeed much better in Utecht and i say that as resident of Amsterdam. They have better bycicle infrastructure to give a example and the list would go on and on. Ok you won't find to give an example the Anne Frank house in Utrecht, but they got plenty of other things that are worth a visit.

Utrecht is nice but it is not Amsterdam. Living in Utrecht almost all my life I should know.but it is coming up.meaby in 20years from now. You can say so.

is there coffee shops?

No, we are not the better Amsterdam... we are NOT Amsterdam... I like Utrecht better though. Not gonna say we are better because that is a "to each their own" type of thing.

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Now, all the "Zombies" are coming to Utrecht instead of Amsterdam!!

Thank you for featuring my rainbow cycle path 😄💪🏼

I used to live in Utrecht. In your opening piece about too many tourists in Amsterdam, the same could be said for students in Utrecht (driving up house prices etc for locals). It is undoubtedly much nicer and just as interesting than Amsterdam.

Really gay bike path

Well, when it comes to countries like Denmark, or Netherlands, personally, (in terms of living there) I favour cities like Utrecht, or Århus (over cities like Copenhagen, or Amsterdam), because (although not large cities) they are (still) midsize cities, with everything that Copenhagen/Amsterdam have to offer (the same quality of life/standards of living), but at lower/more affordable costs of living.

I'm 13, I moved from France to Utrecht with family at 10 and I love this city so much everyone is so happy and I love the weather. (ps: the rainbow path is beautiful 💓)

Amazing

I talked to a american woman who said she needs to be armed to protect her self. I said in other countries you dont need to be armed because there is no guns in those countries and they are safer then anywhere else on earth.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video!

Finally a tourist who mentions utrecht

man loveee, you really help me with this video

Great video! Thanks

i go there in summer gives there coffeeeee shops ? i must google it :D

That’s very nice,I want to study in Utrecht university ,but it will very hard to a non- native speaker.

The rainbow cycle path looks in my opinion not good and changes nothing. The Netherlands are today a very tolerant country and the latest ones wont change there mind because of some colours on the ground. But for everybody who are not happy with the gender culture of today got a hit in the face with such actions.

It makes the fronts harder. Like gender language in Germany. And it costs money with no benefit.

Amsterdam is overrun, lets go to Utrecht and overrun that city. Let's go there with a hundred thousand and fill the tiny centre to imagine how peaceful and quiet it was when we were not there yet. Is that the message? If not, what is?

Are people not wearing masks ? When was it shot ?
