Utrecht is the perfect place for your Christmas shopping. The city is filled with unique boutiques and eye-catching concept stores. Visit gift shop Keck & Lisa for a real eye-catcher under the tree, or head to Puha for design items with a special story - two addresses you don't want to miss.
On 15 December, the Swan Market returns to Vredenburg, where creative entrepreneurs present their handmade pieces in a wintery setting. And for those who are still not done shopping: the Hoog Catharijne shopping centre is just around the corner, with everything you are looking for within reach.
Walking through historic and illuminated Utrecht is something you don't want to miss. There are plenty of routes you can walk during the darkest hours to experience the magic of the night, such as Kleur de Stad and Utrecht Lumen.
Also, during the Luminous Nights, Kasteel de Haar transforms into a light spectacle from 20 December to 5 January in which you walk past impressive light installations and projections on the castle walls.
