    Like every medieval town, Utrecht has its fair share of squares. But there’s only one that really matters: the Dom Cathedral Square. And that's not only due to the fact that it's the highest spire in the Netherlands at 112.34 meters. Whenever locals come back from holiday, they're often heard saying 'I don’t really feel like I’m back until I’ve seen the Dom.'
