Inspiring neighbourhoods

Do you like street art and trendy hotspots? Or are you more into local shops and studios? Either way, don't skip the former industrial area De Nieuwe Stad in Amersfoort. Just a stone's throw from the city centre, it is buzzing with creativity. Formerly home to the Prodent Factory and the old soap factory, among others, it is now an exciting and photogenic place.

Utrecht's atmospheric old town is a true shopping paradise. You will find popular department stores, but also small boutiques, hip shopping concepts and bustling markets. And let's not forget the rest of Utrecht. In the neighbourhoods around the centre, you will find many cultural hotspots, culinary delights and beautiful parks.
