During this 1.5-hour city walk, you will dive into nearly 2,000 years of history. We begin with Utrecht’s Roman past, when the city was a strategic fortress on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Then stroll through medieval streets, along canals, wharf cellars, and impressive monuments that tell the story of a thriving trading city.

Of course, we will also pause at one of the most dramatic moments in the city’s history: the destruction of the nave of the Dom Church by a devastating tornado in 1674. How this event permanently changed the cityscape is something you will discover on site.

Registration & payment (within the conference registration) is required for participation.
