The fourth largest city of the Netherlands, and historically one of the most important, Utrecht is must visit destination for culture lovers. The city is well known as a cultural centre, having played host to the European Youth Olympic Festival, as well as being host of the first stage of the Tour De France in 215.

One of the highlights on the cultural calendar for Utrecht is the Netherlands Film Festival which takes place over the course of ten days each year in late September, and transforms the city into the movie capital of the Netherlands. There are also a number of arthouse cinemas which are open throughout the year for the cinephiles amongst you. Hiring a car in Utrecht will allow you to experience life outside of the city.
