After almost 50 years, the water has once again returned to the entirety of the canals of Utrecht!
Our beautiful city used to be surrounded by water to protect it’s citywalls from intruders and to offer merchants a way into the city. After losing it’s purpose, the decision was made 50 years ago to close the Catharijnesingel and improve accessibilty into the city.
