Water sports on the canals

As you may have guessed, Utrecht and water are inseparable. The centuries-old canal system is no longer used for commercial purposes, but as a recreational boater you can't believe your luck. Apart from the tour boats and pleasure boats, you can also try your luck on the water. Canoes and pedal boats are available for rent at various locations (including Oudegracht). These easily controlled boats allow you to get to know Utrecht from a completely different perspective. It offers you the space for the most beautiful photos and you will be an attraction in itself for many people. People will wave at you from the various eateries on the quay. If you are a real die hard, you can even sail towards bunnik to dock at Amelisweerd or Pannekoekenhuis Rhijnauwen. This is secretly further than you think!
