Water Tower

The Water Tower in Utrecht is a cylindrical building made of red brick, standing atop a small hill since the 19th century. It is part of a restored fortress wall of the city and today is a municipal landmark. From the terrace of the tower, open only during special events, you get a unique panoramic view of the city. The tower is a popular site for photographers looking to capture the beauty of old Utrecht. Consider also visiting the nearby Museum Speelklok for a glimpse of authentic Dutch historic music. Be sure to take in the city’s grand canals (Grachten) as well. Don't forget to bring your camera and get ready for some amazing shots.
