Terraces in Utrecht full? Claim your private terrace on the Utrecht canals

You know the drill: the first rays of sunshine break through, temperatures rise, and all of Utrecht heads straight for the city center. The result? Packed terraces at Neude, long lines at the Oudegracht bars, and a non-stop hunt for a free chair. What was supposed to be a relaxing drink with friends, family, or colleagues quickly turns into a trek through town.

Fortunately, there is a smarter and much better alternative. Why wait for an open table when you can claim your very own floating terrace?
