Utrecht 🇳🇱

Utrecht is the fourth-largest city and a municipality of the Netherlands, capital and most populous city of the province of Utrecht. It is located in the eastern corner of the Randstad conurbation, in the very centre of mainland Netherlands.

The story

Actually, I was planning to go to Utrecht the previous weekend, but public transportation let me down. So the next chance was this weekend! While other people were walking the Kennedymars, 80 km (50 miles), or the Swentiboldmars, 40 km (25 miles), I did my own photography mars of 20 km (12.5 miles) in Utrecht!
