De Meern 1
Experience Utrecht from the water on De Meern 1
Step aboard the Roman ship De Meern 1 and experience Utrecht from the water as you have never seen it before. This special ship has a unique story: in 1997 it was found in Leidsche Rijn, where it had been hidden in the clay for centuries. The original Roman ship was a masterpiece of craftsmanship and presumably used for maintenance and provisioning along the banks.
Today, the replica sails through Utrecht's waters as a sailing monument. Electric and whisper-quiet, the ship glides past the old city centre while a guide takes you through seven time layers of Utrecht's history. From the Romans and the Limes to modern Utrecht: along the way you will discover special places and hear stories about how the city developed.
