About 030.TV - Utrecht

Utrecht is now the fourth largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. Situated in the centre of the country, the city lies at the crossroads for transport, art, knowledge, service and commerce. The importance of its central location is illustrated by the fact that the Dutch National Railways have chosen this city to locate their headquarters. Central Station is the third largest 'port of access' into the Netherlands: a 'railport' alongside the seaport of Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The city owes its importance to its favourable location within the 'Randstad', and not only in relation to the northern and eastern provinces in the Netherlands, but also for regions further afield in Europe. Because of the central location and economic activity, Utrecht has become an important meeting place for people from all over the country, and from further afield. The city attracts seven million visitors a year, among them many from abroad. Throughout the year there are congresses, trade fairs and festivals taking place in Utrecht. The Jaarbeurs (Royal Dutch Fairs) hosts more than 100 trade and public exhibitions a year, bringing 2 million visitors to the city. Undoubtedly, the varied cultural climate contributes to the city's ability for drawing people: the prominent museums, the internationally-renowned music and drama events. Quite rightly Utrecht is called the Festival City of the Netherlands, with the festival of Old Music, the Dutch Film Festival, the Holland Animation Film Festival, blues and jazz festivals, the dance festival 'Springdance', the drama festival 'Theater aan de Werf'. International musicians, from classical to pop, find their way to the stage of the 'Muziekcentrum Vredenburg', which has close ties with Dutch television. In the relatively small historic city centre with its characteristic canals and wharf cellars, there is a wealth of quality art and plenty of lively entertainment. The abundance of museums, such as the University Museum, the Central Museum, the 'Rijksmuseum Catharijne Convent', the museum 'van Speelklok tot Pierement' (from Musical Box to Barrel Organ) and the 'Spoorwegmuseum' (the Netherlands Railway museum) offer both visitors and inhabitants a view of many centuries past. In addition, the countryside around the city offers a pleasant, varied, rural atmosphere. The well-known polders and pastures of the west country, the lakes in the northern area, the sand and woods of the 'Utrechtse Heuvelrug' to the east and the wide and open countryside of the rivers to the south. The presence of such varied and attractive areas close to the lively, historic inner city make Utrecht a valued and popular residence in the Netherlands.
