The Oudegracht is the canal that meanders through Utrecht. Walk it from beginning to the end, it will take you about half an hour, and you'll have a perfect idea of all the nice neighborhoods in the intercity. At one point it will bring you to the Nieuwegracht, also a canal, which is the prettiest -and the most expensive part- of town.

Parks & Nature
griftpark is quite a recent park. not really what you would expect, it has an open feel. in the far corner there's a children's farm and a garden where people from the neighborhood grow their own vegetables and flowers. good for running or a walk at your own leisurely pace. not really my favorite, but good for a quick breath of fresh air.
