On Easter Saturday - a hockey rest day - we caught a train from Eindhoven to the beautiful city of Utrecht - which was about 50 minutes away.
Utrecht's ancient city centre features many buildings and structures from the Early Middle Ages. It has been the religious centre of the Netherlands since the 8th century
Utrecht boasts beautiful canals with extraordinary wharf cellars housing cafés and terraces by the water
Utrecht was built around the Dom tower ...
... which you can see from any point in the city, so there is no way you can get lost
The Dom Tower was built between 1321 and 1382 and is 112 meters high. It became separated from the cathedral after a tornado struck the church in 1647

The Railway Museum in Utrecht, Het Spoorwegmuseum, established in 1927 is dedicated to preserving historical equipment from the Dutch national railway
In 1954 the museum was permanently housed in the Maliebaan Station in Utrecht ...
It has been beautifully restored to reenact the luxury of 19th-century train travel, complete with a ticket window, a grand lobby hall, waiting rooms, and two dining areas
