Located in the lively Lombok district, Molen de Ster is a historic mill commissioned by the Van der Starren family. It stands as the sole remaining structure from a series of sawmills along the Leidsche Vaart. After an extensive restoration in the 1990s, the mill houses a café, and has a small animal park nearby. Guided tours in English provide insight into the mill's history.

This urban farm is nestled away in the Madestein Recreational Park where there is also a community garden, sports complex, campsite and a lake, which is safe to swim in or kayak. In Pluk itself, guests can pick their own fruit and vegetables whilst admiring the farm animals that reside on the estate or sit down to enjoy the fresh organic produce that the establishment is known for.

If you think there's nothing exciting about traffic lights, the city of Utrecht might make you reconsider. This unique traffic light is one of several Nijntje spots all around Utrecht. Located at a rainbow crossing in the city centre, Miffy, a small white rabbit from a series of picture books created by the Dutch artist Dick Bruna, takes on the role of regulating traffic, adding a charming touch to Utrecht's streets. This will be by far the cutest way to cross the street during your visit to Utrecht.

Dating back as early as the 13th century, this late medieval building is the oldest remaining parliamentary court still in use today. It was first built as a castle and home to the various counts of Holland, but after several battles for succession, the Binnenhof changed hands many times and, in the process, saw many new administrative buildings erected around it. Extensive renovations are currently underway and not expected to finish before 2028, so politicians have had to find elsewhere to conduct their business. Tours of the surrounding areas are available and more information can be obtained at the Binnenhof Renovation Information Centre, which is right next to the complex.
