TivoliVredenburg

Utrecht


Wrapped around Utrecht's original 1970s symphony hall, this 45m-tall, five-venue entertainment centre caters for virtually any musical taste from classical to jazz, chamber to pop.

The Cloud Nine party-gig venue at the top has great views while the ground-floor cafe sprawls out on to a canal-side terrace.
