About Utrecht

Utrecht is an ideal conference base: a historical, walkable, and lively city. You can explore the ancient canals by a boat tour or paddle boarding, explore the city centre by bike, climb the Dom Tower for city views, listen to live music at Tivoli Vredenburg or eat and drink at a wide variation of restaurants, cafés, and waterside terraces.

The city offers a wealth of experiences for history, art, and music enthusiasts. With fast train connections and a vibrant heart, Utrecht blends convenience with charm.

From Utrecht Central, reach UMC Utrecht easily: take tram 22 (Uithoflijn) toward Science Park and get off at “UMC Utrecht”—about 10–15 minutes. Buses to the hospital campus run frequently as well (about 15 minutes). Contactless payment is accepted on trains, tram, and buses.
