No. 2 of Best Things to Do in Utrecht

Museum Speelklok/ Musical Clock

5.1
4.8/5
9 reviews
The Utrecht Museum of Musical Clocks, located in the historic city of Utrecht, the Netherlands, is a unique museum dedicated to automatic musical instruments. The museum is located in a unique building. Its predecessor was the Monastery of St. Catherine, which was built in 1466. The simple and heavy sense of history complements the collection of musical instruments in the museum. The museum has a collection of more than 350 automatic musical instruments, including precious musical instruments such as music boxes, pipe organs, and street organs from the 18th century to the present. These instruments are not only exquisite crafts, but also carry rich musical history and cultural connotations. For example, the giant pipe organ in the museum has a complex and exquisite mechanical structure. When it plays, the grand music echoes in the ancient building, as if it can bring the audience back to the past. In the museum, visitors can not only appreciate these exquisite musical instruments up close, but also feel the unique charm of automatic musical instrument performance through on-site demonstrations and interactive experiences. The museum will regularly hold concerts, lectures and other activities, inviting professionals to interpret the stories behind the instruments, so that the audience can have a deeper understanding of the development of automatic musical instruments.Utrecht · 359m from downtown

The prototype of Howl's Moving Castle is still very large. Because it is a castle that has been used all the time, it is still very modern and luxurious. There are explanation boards to use. There are actually live NPCs in each room. If you are interested enough, you can go up and chat to learn about the story of this castle.

The Music Box Museum is definitely one of the most worthwhile museums to visit. It displays hundreds of years of music boxes, and there are a lot of them, with different shapes and very beautifully made.

A good place for leisure ~ Utrecht is not far from Amsterdam. If time permits, you can go there to take a walk~😊 There are many bars or coffee shops beside the old canal. If you are tired of walking, sit down and have a drink, and it is also a great pleasure in life to be in a daze and look at the scenery❤️ The most famous local thing is of course Miffy Rabbit. You can see Miffy Rabbit's surroundings everywhere. Friends who collect can also go treasure hunting~~

The Domkerk Cathedral in Utrecht, Netherlands, has a 112-meter-high tower. This Gothic cathedral was once the largest church in the Netherlands, but the nave collapsed in a storm in 1674 and was never rebuilt, isolating the tower from the east end. The tower is now a symbol of the city.

In fact, the Railway Museum is not far from the Central Station. If you are not tired, it takes about 20 minutes to walk there. The entrance fee of 17.50 euros is a bit expensive, but you can see various nostalgic trains and learn about the railway history of the Netherlands. After visiting other museums, this is a good choice.

There are lots of cute exhibits! As Miffy is popular among Japanese people, many of the exhibits have Japanese translations. The place is perfect for families with children, as it is surrounded by a cute and warm atmosphere from start to finish. Tickets can be purchased at the souvenir shop opposite. There is also a one-of-a-kind Miffy traffic light a little distance away, so be sure to check it out!
