Before Amsterdam became the country’s cultural center, that role used to belong to Utrecht. That is still visible in the city’s architecture and the fact that Utrecht hosts the largest number of cultural events in the Netherlands after Amsterdam. Throw in the mix the largest student population in the country, and you’ll get a buzzing city that always has an interesting offer on the table for a Friday night or Sunday afternoon.
