We of course hope you will enjoy the conference. But beside the conference venues, there is a lot more to see in the Utrecht! Some of Utrecht’s scenic locations will be included in the conference excursions on Thursday, but you can also discover Utrecht by yourself! Utrecht’s City centre offers a many opportunities for social activities, such as the Dom Tower, guided city tours, or museum visits to for example the Museum of the Convent of Saint-Catherine (Museum Catharijneconvent), the Railway Museum (Spoorwegmuseum), the Central Museum, and the unique Miffy Museum (Nijntje-museum) opposite of the Central Museum.
Utrecht’s City centre offers a large variation of dinner facilities and bars. The historical wharfs are unique within Europe and offer a lot of opportunities to have a drink or a meal along the canal.
