Getting Around Utrecht, Netherlands

Utrecht public transport.

getting around utrecht

Utrecht is one of the main cities of the Netherlands and lies 45km south of Amsterdam. Please see how to get to Utrecht for information on arriving by train or coach and getting oriented at Utrecht Central Station.

Once in Utrecht, let’s take a look at how to get around the city by various forms of public transport – including buses, trams and trains as well as foot, bicycle and taxi.

Utrecht On Foot

The cheapest and easiest option, Utrecht city centre is small enough so that the majority of visitors can quite easily get around on foot.

From Utrecht Central Station you can access the city centre by walking via the covered pavilion square at Stationsplein-Oost (located past platforms 1-4) and then into the Hoog Catharijne shopping centre.

utrecht central stationsplein oost

After a few minutes walk you will reach the exits at the Vredenberg square. From here you can make your way to the Oudegracht (old canal) and imposing Dom cathedral tower at the heart of the old centre. Just watch out for the cobbled streets and cyclists!

oudegracht utrecht

Utrecht Trams

There are 3 tram lines running in Utrecht which are operated by  U-OV (a subsidiary of Qbuzz, owned by Italian State Railways).

They serve the satellite towns of Nieuwegein and IJsselstein (a few kilometres south of the city) and the Utrecht Science Park (eastern edge of the city). The lines are as follows:

Note, if you plan to travel by tram in Utrecht then (unlike Amsterdam) the card readers are located on the platforms rather than on board the tram.

utrecht tram

The tram is used by people visiting the Utrecht IKEA store – a short walk from stop Kanaleneiland Zuid (direction Nieuwegein/IJsselstein).

Towards Utrecht Science Park it stops at Utrecht FC football stadium at Galgenwaard.

Tickets are the same as for U-OV buses, described below.

Utrecht Buses

Utrecht bus services can be useful if you need to head to the outer areas of the city. Buses are operated by U-OV which runs around 30 bus lines around the city.

Most U-OV buses are yellow, however there are also some grey ‘U-link’ branded lines.

utrecht central bus station jaarbeurs

There are various bus terminals at opposite ends of Utrecht Central Station – either A & B at the City-side (Centrumzijde) or C & D at the Jaarbeursplein (Jaarbeurszijde) . Bus stops in the city have electronic boards which give live info on the next departing buses.

u-ov utrecht bus

A place of interest to visit which may require a bus ride is the Rietveld Schroder House museum (line 8, stop: De Hoogstraat ). In addition, minibus line 2 is a useful circular route which travels around the museum quarter .

Utrecht Bus/Tram Tickets (2024 rates)

Tickets can be bought on board buses (cards only, cash no longer accepted) or at one of the U-OV sales points/ticket machines at Utrecht Central.

All travellers aged 4 or over must have their own ticket. Children 0-3 always ride public transport for free.

Distance fares : You can use credit on a personal or anonymous OV-chip card to travel on any U-OV service. This costs €1.08 (boarding fee) + €0.187 per km. You must always check-in and check-out of your journey using the card readers next to the doors.

OVpay is also available on U-OV – meaning you can check-in and check-out with your contactless debit/credit card/mobile – for travel at the above standard distance rate.

Single ticket: A one-time single ( U-OV reiskaart paper ticket) within the city costs €3.10 and is valid for 60 minutes.

Travel further out of the city around Utrecht province will cost €4.80 / €7.10 / €8.05 depending on the distance.

Child ticket: A U-OV Kidsticket (4-11) ticket costs €1.10 and is valid for 90 minutes in the entire Utrecht province. It is also valid for transfers onto Syntus Utrecht buses.

Evening/Weekend Return ticket: There is a special return ticket ( U-OV retourkaart ) which is only available for travel after 1800 on weekdays and anytime at weekends. It costs €4.35 for travel within the city and is valid for 60 minutes each way.

1 Day ticket: The U-OV Utrecht City 1 day (24 hours) ticket , available as a disposable OV-chip card costs €6.95 . Children aged 4-11 pay €4.70. The day tickets are valid in the Utrecht city area.

ov ticket shop utrecht central

There is also the Utrecht province day ticket available which costs €11.05 and is valid on U-OV and Syntus buses/trams in the entire region. This ticket is valid for use after 0900. Note, this can only be placed onto an OV-chip card .

There are a number of smaller stations out in the suburbs which can be reached using various stopping trains – Utrecht Leidsche Rijn , Utrecht Lunetten , Utrecht Maliebaan , Utrecht Overvecht , Utrecht Terwijde , Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn and Utrecht Zuilen .

See how to buy a Dutch train ticket

There are 2 taxi ranks at Utrecht Central station – at the Jaarbeurs-side and at the city centre side (Rijnkade). You can also find small taxi ranks at Janskerkhof, Lange Viestraat, Mariaplaats, Neude and Stadhuisbrug.

How to get there

By train or bus.

From Utrecht Central Station it is a 15 minute walk to the Domsquare. I recommend walking as it often is just as fast as taking a bus.

Bus number 2 stops at the Domsquare. Also busstop Janskerkhof is close by and is attended to by many lines. Check the website 9292.nl for travel schedules and timetables.

Parking on the streets is possible but expensive and oftentimes it is hard to find a spot. Below you will find car parks close to the Domsquare. Sometimes reserving a spot beforehand is cheaper. You can also check out Parkbee for this.

Parkeergarage Springweg - A 5 minute walk to the Domsquare. Costs: 2 euro per 25 minutes / 36,- per day

Parkeergarage Hoog-Catharijne P1  - A 10 minute walk to the Domsquare. Costs: 0,50 cent per 9 minuten / 30,- per day

Park and Ride

The cheapest option is using the Park and Ride locations Westraven and Science Park. Parking costs 6 euro´s per day and includes a bus/tram-ticket for up to 5 persons. I couldn´t find propper updated English instructions on how to use the P+R´s. I suggest following the links below and use Google translate instead.

P+R Westraven is located south of Utrecht next to the A12 highway. Here you can take a tram that will take you to Utrecht Central Station in 12 minutes.

P+R Science Park is located east of Utrecht next to the A28 highway. Here you can take bus 28 (or tram) that will take you to the city centre in 15 minutes. I recommend getting of at Janskerkhof close to the Domsquare.

Here’s what happened to the double-decker tour buses downtown

City sightseeing of san antonio closed shop in january.

Spencer Heath , Digital Journalist

SAN ANTONIO – Remember the infamous, red-colored double-decker tour buses downtown? Well, they have gone out of business, and a new company has taken their place.

David Strainge, founder of City Sightseeing of San Antonio, started the trolley company in 2010, according to the San Antonio Report . He opened the company as a franchise of the international tour bus operator based in Seville, Spain.

City Sightseeing closed shop in early January. Since the closure, Strainge has branched off into other business opportunities.

This has made way for Historic Tours of America to bring Old Town Trolley Tours to San Antonio.

“The timing could not have been more perfect. We have been looking to expand and the opportunity presented itself in this amazing city,” said Historic Tours of America’s CEO Chris Belland.

Old Town Trolley Tours, featuring orange and green-style busses, offers guests a 90-minute narrated tour with 14 stops throughout San Antonio.

The 12-mile tour ride includes stops at the Alamo Plaza, Japanese Tea Garden, San Antonio Zoo, Witte Museum, Botanical Gardens, The Pearl, San Antonio Museum of Art, Veteran’s Memorial Park, The Tobin Center, Buckhorn Saloon, E. Houston Street, Spanish Governor’s Palace, Historic Market Square, Tower of the Americas, Hemisfair, The Alamo, and the Crockett Hotel.

“San Antonio is a city with incredible history, attractions, sites, and fabulous people which is what we look for when going into a city,” said Belland.

Old Town Trolley Tours also offers a ‘Hometown Pass’ to Bexar County residents, granting free access when bringing an adult paying guest, according to a press release.

In addition to San Antonio, the release mentioned Old Town Trolley Tours also operates in Key West, Boston, Washington, Savannah, St. Augustine, San Diego, and Nashville.
