I found Utrecht incredibly easy to fall in love with. To me, it feels so much more welcoming and homey than Amsterdam. While it is a major city in the Netherlands, it has the feel of a small, quaint village. The one thing I recommend the most when visiting is climbing the treacherously uneven stairs to the top of Dom Tower to see the colorful homes lining the canals. Yes, it’s a lot of stairs (465 to be exact), but it’s so worth it when you get to take in those views.
Here are just a few photos from Utrecht–Dom Tower, view from the Dom Tower, inside a bar and a pancake house, and more!
I need to know more about these toast sprinkles!

They’re called hagelslag and come in a few different flavors–chocolate or like mixed fruit (which is what I had). Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the fruit ones. They were too sugary and artificial tasting for me, but they were very colorful and cute!
The family I used to work for in France had a Dutch father and a French mother and they had those sprinkles at home all the time! We used to eat them for breakfast :)

Did you prefer the chocolate kind or the mixed fruit kind?
