Going on a city trip with your child in your own country: 8 great tips in Utrecht

To do

Miffy in the pan
The famous Utrecht rabbit Miffy should of course not be missed. Book a ticket for The Miffy Museum and then cross the street to the Centraal Museum where you can eat pancakes in the form of, yes, Miffy.

Distinguished visitors
Okay, not in the center, but a stone’s throw from Utrecht is the village of Haarzuilens. There is the largest castle in the Netherlands: Kasteel de Haar. There is a treasure hunt, a maze and especially the princes and princesses dream come true.

She happy, you happy
If you crave coffee, drag your children to the Koekfabriek. Concept: buy a biscuit, get a cup of coffee (or a bottle of apple juice) with it.

To sleep

Simply the best
Waking up to the clanging of the Dom remains the best. Cozy Pillow is around the corner and has rooms to pass through a ring. For the real Utrecht experience you sleep in their newly opened room in one of the historic wharf cellars of the city.

Child friendly
The Eye Hotel has a real family room in the ridge. Complete with changing table, extra beds, even a toilet reducer has been thought of. eyehotel.nl

Food

Snack box
If you want to eat out, think of LE: EN at the trendy Rotsoord where you can share Asian snacks. If your child would rather have something for themselves, then there is the bento box for children with vegetarian spring rolls, noodles and banana ice cream.

Big hit
Bammetje Bakery is a vegan bakery where they have croissants that look like cakes. For example, the whole of Utrecht has already turned out for the crompouce (a baby from the croissant and the tompouce) and because it is pink, a big hit with our girl.

Famous rabbit
At Theo Blom pastry shop you can get butter biscuits with Miffy on it, also for sale in tins.
