Buy tickets at vending machines or ticket booths at Utrecht Centraal, as this is much cheaper than buying them on the bus.

If the weather is fine then the perfect way to see Utrecht is by bicycle or on foot. The centre is small enough to traverse with not too much effort.

Do not attempt to drive into the centre of Utrecht, the local government have made it very difficult for motorists to park and move around in the centre by car. Park your car in one of the many large parking facilities just outside the centre of the city and continue your journey on foot or by bus.
