Advantages: transport, language ease Disadvantages: the rain
Utrecht was the first city I visited as a lone traveller from England. I was worried about many things; getting the transfers from the airport, finding the hotel and above all I spoke not a scrap of Dutch.
Stepping off the plane at Schipol - the airport in Amsterdam- I was greeted by easy to follow signs pointing me where I needed to be, to collect my luggage, then booths to buy train tickets, which I'd managed in under 2 minutes, and was quickly off on my way to get the train to Utrecht. Located right in the airport, the train station has ever so friendly staff that appear delighted to help you and will enter into a bit of friendly and polite banter with you too; so (after figuring out very quickly I was English) they helped me find the right train platform and off I went with a smile on my face.
The train came in the next 5 minutes ...
Advantages: A well-presented exhibition and superb collection of works Disadvantages: Can get very busy, especially at weekends
With only two days in Amsterdam I was keen to cram in as much as possible. As it rained pretty much the whole time we were there, indoor activites were top of the list and as the Rijksmuseum was closed for essential works, next on my list was the Van Gogh Museum. This museum houses the biggest collection of the artist's work held in one place as well as displaying works by other artists of the period - this is interesting as it gives you an opportunity to put Van Gogh's work into context.
The Museum is located close to the Rijksmuseum and is easy to find. It is housed in a modern building which has wheelchair access. The building also has lifts to the upper floors. The admission prices are displayed clearly at the entrance and you can pay with Euros, although I think I saw a sign indicating that sterling is also accepted.

Advantages: All the benefits of Amsterdam but cheaper and more relaxed Disadvantages: Maybe not as 'full on' but still a great place to stay!
OK, so everyone thinks it's THE place to go to have a wild time. But not so many people know that just 45 minutes away, Utrecht has just as much to offer the traveler without being overrun by tourists and pickpockets.
With its winding streets, historical buildings and endless canals, Utrecht has a lot to offer the aesthete as well as the party animal. The Domkerk (a cathedral dating back to the 1400s that also has the tallest bell tower in the country - you can see Amsterdam from the top on a clear day), the 'Nationaal MuseumvanSpeelkloktotPierement' (a museum full of fairground organs and music boxes), the Catharijne Convent Museum and the Schroderhuis (a collection of some of the most bizarre modern art and furniture you'll ever see) are all worth a look.
Utrecht also has its fair share of eateries, pubs, clubs and of course ...
