The Grocery Museum is a charming little establishment and a museum that offers sweets, such as liquorice, butter cookies and more, all of them locally made in Utrecht. The museum is housed in a 17th-century building, which initially served solely as a shop. Today it is both a shop and an exhibition space displaying a range of nostalgic items, including treats and artefacts reminiscent of the 19th century.

Also, The Fire Trial, an award-winning 4D simulation allows participants to take the reins of a train and experience the thrill of driving it themselves.

If you think there's nothing exciting about traffic lights, the city of Utrecht might make you reconsider. This unique traffic light is one of several Nijntje spots all around Utrecht. Located at a rainbow crossing in the city centre, Miffy, a small white rabbit from a series of picture books created by the Dutch artist Dick Bruna, takes on the role of regulating traffic, adding a charming touch to Utrecht's streets. This will be by far the cutest way to cross the street during your visit to Utrecht.
