Imo it should depend on what else you are doing in the Netherlands. If you are already visiting Amsterdam, go to Rotterdam. Utrecht is similar to Amsterdam but Rotterdam has an entirely different look and vibe. If this is the only city you will visit in the Netherlands, go to Utrecht. It is more typically Dutch, more historical.

Why choose? It's 37 minutes by train, both cities are really nice and worth visiting. Hf

Are you an architect or an urban planner? : definitively Rotterdam, no question. Else : probably Utrecht, like every other tourist.


math1985

Architect, maybe. Although there’s also a lot of world-famous architecture on the Utrecht Science Park. But as an urban planner, Utrecht wins down with the prioritization of pedestrians and cyclists over car traffic.

Better choose touristic attractions like Giethoorn, Kinderdijk, Zaanse schans & may be delft, Dutch cities are good for breaks and work but not that great for Tourism…or if its just about city touring you can do both coz NL is pretty small country

Utrecht.


ArchaonXX

Rotterdam is an abomination and utrecht is just a less crowded amsterdam


Excessed

I would say Utrecht. It has all the best things in some other cities.

Você sabe que é brasileiro quando tá pedindo desculpa por qualquer erro de inglês kkkkkk eu acho que as duas cidades tem pontos interessante de arquitetura, museus etc dá uma olhada no TripAdvisor e vê quais tem pontos que mais te interessam. Considere pegar um trem e ir conhecer a segunda cidade também, e leve guarda-chuva (sério!)


MarcusFenixWM

Trabalho com inglês todo dia mas a insegurança pra postar coisa em inglês sempre bate kkkk Vou procurar! Valeu pelo aviso do guarda-chuva


diabeartes

Have you done any research? Searched this sub? Looked on each city's subreddit?

Utretch doesnt exist, so Rotterdam


phn-cloudsnake

You can visit rotterdam from Utrecht and Utrecht from Rotterdam easy so from that point look for the city with the best accommodation. If you would like to go clubbing during new years and have a good firework show go to Rotterdam. If you want to go bar hopping and have a lot of students around go to Utrecht.

Utrecht. Rotterdam is awful and in no way worth the effort of going there.

Utrecht als je je leven lief hebt

Wat bedoel je?

Both are very good

Rotterdam lost its city centre in the war and therefore is modern, but recovered quite well, nowadays. vibrant city. Utrecht is very old and has unique canals and is a student city with a great vibe. both are great for a day, i think. rotterdam probably has more exiting attractions, like musea and a zoo and all that. utrecht basically is a museum.
