I think there are many nice cities in the Netherlands, especially if you don't like big cities the smaller ones are nice and cozy. But Utrech is i think one of the best. Better than Amsterdam..

I don't know why I'm watching a video of Justin Bieber reviewing Utrecht but I'm here for it.
hahaha!
even before opening the video i immediately imagined this would be Utrecht, and it is true, the location is incredible and it has everything good that Amsterdam has without the bad. Amersfoort is a strong second place, close to Utrecht quite similar and the house market is not as bad as in utrecht
Love learning about Europe from you. I like your relaxed style of presenting.
Utrecht is kinda like the perfect balance of everything you would need from a Dutch city ^^
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧.. I love utrecht! My sister married a Dutch guy many years ago and they raised their family in oudewater just outside utrecht before moving back to England a few years ago, I'd love to go back! 💜
I work in Utrecht and I literally recorded my video at the same place you are recording your footage 😌🤎 Utrecht is amazing, we were looking for a house to buy there but everything was above our budget... we bought a house in Almere, eventually.
The funny thing about Utrecht is that its basically one of the four efficient Function business brothers of the big Randstad city agglomeration in Netherlands
Amsterdam is the tourist Capital with the very busy Schiphol airport, Rotterdam is the big Port city where allot of European good come in and out, Den Haag is the Parliament who governs allot, and Utrecht is the Central hub and gateway to the rest of Holland. And everything is soo well connected.
The rest of NL you meant of course
@@gerardsonneveldt2144 no to Holland. Its from the rest of NL to Holland the two provinces where the Randstad is based. Ik kom zelf ook uit NL hoor ik weet wat ik zeg.
I only stayed for one week, but Utrecht was a lovely town. I felt nostalgic when I found the game center, rented a bicycle and went around town, and the huge bicycle parking lot underneath Utrecht Station fascinated me.
Utrecht was great when I visited a few months ago, Kasteel de Haar was life changing for me.
I was never in Utrecht but I will check it out. I was mainly in Maastricht, and sometimes in Amsterdam, Haarlem and Scheveningen. Nice video
Great video, I live in Utrecht, and I have been here for 4 years.
Nice hairstyle, though I can't stop looking at that wandering strand lol
yayyyy new upload, love your vids :)
My friend has been living there for college and I have visited a few times and its so great
Just found your channel today and I am so glad I did! Your humor is wonderful and your content is excellent overall
I like the authenticity of your videos :) keep going!
Just came back little over a month ago to my country after living 5 months in Utrecht as an exchange student and I can 100% vouch for what you are saying. Watching this video brings so many memories back of my friends and time there. Love to see the city again, thank you. Great video!
Hey I’m applying to Utrecht. What’s the student life like? Are the studies competitive/ intense? Is it hard to make friends as an international? Thanks!
You are an excellent TH-camr Erika. Keep spreading happiness.
Croesestraat, that’s where I lived a long time and my children are born. Still sad for leaving Utrecht 😢
Your voice and speech and atmosphere of your videos are so addictive! 😆 I don't know why, but I just feel comfortable. Keep it up!!!
Oh cool, my city! I just moved here this September to go to uni and so far I've been loving it ❤
Fun video. My situation is the mirror opposite of yours - after living in Germany for 4.5 years, I’m relocating to Utrecht.
yaaaay, new video!!💗
Haha thx surfshark and congrats to you on the new sponsorship. Thx for another interesting video.
That shopping mall is Hoog Catharijne... very famous mall, translates to High Catherine. Not high as using drugs, but high as it not low.
Utrecht is awesome, if you:
1- Can afford it
2- Can actually find housing
3- Are related to the Chang family
4- Don't mind living in a €1200 shared shoe box
5- Are not "No Internationals"
Now, all jokes aside, Utrecht is an amazing student city, I'd definitely recommended it to any local/international student, just start looking for a place with a long time in advance, housing is a nightmare here! 🏠
I discovered your channel yesterday, and loved it! The presentations are clear and funny to see, thank you c:. Best wishes in everything. And I hope you and all of us who struggle with find ourselves with a clear direction, may find us well in life
I love your videos. They're so casually quirky and funny and informative about these lovely countries.
As always good video❤ greetings from Hanover
Nice to have you back
lol, without watching the video I'm gonna go study there for the next couple of years, thanks for making the informative vid about the city (also you seem to have a pretty cool channel earned a new subscriber :3)
I lived there on a working holiday visa for three months too, right near terwijde. It is a really nice city, but the country's housing crisis is too severe. I spent the entire time trying to find a room to rent but never succeeded. Too bad.
I’m learning a lot from your channel. Wish you the best!
i like Maastricht most and then Utrecht, i think they are the most beautiful cities in nl
it's great you found the time to count the shops in the Ultrect shopping centre; many other reviewers wouldn't go the extra mile this way. I hope you were paid well by your pen sponsor.
Boring architecture? Utrecht is the place of Gerrit Rietveld which build one of the most famous buildings of the 20th century architecture: the Rietveld-Schröder-House. Rietveld influenced modern architects and who knows how our cities would look today without him :) You can go inside the house and for architecture lovers this thing is insane! ;-)
Hey, we just got back from your city that starts with T and it was so nice! I went up to each thing you showed in your video (which I could not find again so I'm commenting here). I kept saying, "Oh, this one Erica likes, or thinks is lame!" and then we came to a giant rock and I said "If I remember correclty, it rotates." So I ran it around and around and I hope all the tourists appreciated it. The next day I did it agian. I cannot not run that rock around.
I was disappointed in Der Dom cuz 1. no stained glass and 2. no visible Jesus gown despite claiming Jesus' gown was in there. The Frauenkirche satisfied, tons of stained glass and an amazing ceiling ....better than Cologne, I daresay!
Then we found a restaurant (Kleine Laempchen) that was on the TV show Mein Lokal Dein Lokal and we had to eat there cuz we're fans of the show. When the food turned out poorly, my comment was the wrong cut of chicken (breast too try, should be thigh). The host told me "Geschmack sache" which is quatsch. My husband said, "I found it also dry. So dry it stuck my teeth together." She again argued. Then we watched the freaking show online and the host said, "Chicken breast too dry, try thigh." WTH! I freaking quoted the host of the show and the lady didn't comprehend, didn't care, I have such a Trip Advisor review coming.
Trier depressed me when it came to the Ampitheater, where thousands came to watch people die. What is wrong with people? People are SICK. Watch TV people, don't go watch people bleed to death fighting wild animals or other people!
If I were from Trier, though, I'd be so proud. Show me an older city. You cannot.
Is it really older than Rome?
love your videos! if possible please make a video on Dresden one day.😊
A question for everyone, which country is better for settling down, growing old peacefully? Germany or the Netherlands?.. And also, another awesome video.. Paldies Erik! 😊
Hahaha maybe you should specify a little what exactly you're looking for. And Germany is quite a large country so it's even more difficult to generalise.
definitely not germany :)
1:33 In my opinion, it looked better before they started last renovation.
The colours were warmer and I just like the vibe of older buildings more then modern argitecture. The mechanical information board is now in the train museum.
I love Amsterdam, but will check out Utrecht!
Love Utrecht, but trains in Utrecht are always a mess (crazy busy, late, cancelled etc.) 🙈
So far my expereince with the trains in utrech were positive but i believe you. But i wonder if it s as bad as germany :D because when i came to visit utrecht from DE the german train managed to always be late
I went to Utrecht CS at the Friday before Christmas last year in the evening rush hour and it was very busy on the platform, in the main station hall/concourse and it it was very very busy in the shopping mall and the city center. But it wasn’t a mess in central station, my train wasn’t cancelled or late and I didn’t see any train cancellations or late arrivals on the boards. And it was probably the busiest rush hour of the year. I know not everything goes smoothly but there is a lot of exaggeration going on about the Dutch Railway Company NS. It still has a high reliability rate and not a very high amount of late trains in Europe. It is a shame though that the EU doesn’t have the same rules for every EU country to compare the late train arrivals and cancellations rate. That would give a real reliable comparison between countries. Now every country can set up its own rules. For one of the busiest rail systems in the EU, they offer a reasonably high reliability. The only thing they lack is cleanliness of trains (inside and outside) and graffiti in toilets. They should change the locks of toilets on trains, only to be opened by a debit, credit or public transport card (not the anonymous ones) and install cameras which will swap the toilet space after someone has left the toilet and which of course are turned off when the door opens for usage. So it will be easy to find and fine people messing up the toilets.
What is the model of the mic? Its super funny and creative setup, sick!
I am your #1 fan ❤
Thaaank youuu, Surfshark😅 Great to see a new video from you!
And daaaang, I love that microphone "stand" of yours. So professional!😂😂
I really enjoyed Alkmaar too for similar reasons. 🧀
my god, we are going on a trip to Utrecht tomorrow 😂
Дякую за контент!
Дуже корисний для вивчення англійської
leiden is a little bit more lovely than utrecht, but all the cities in the netherlands are pretty amazing.
i lived in oegstgeest, which was so nice. i could bike to the beach in less than an hour
was a great video little boy
I do feel like seagulls are the goons of the sky
Never lived in the Netherlands, but I love Rotterdam because I love gabber.
Ah, I see! With all that "Surfshark" money you made, you've upgraded to a new microphone! It's weird that it looks like your old one and is simply sticked to an old pen.
Great video again, love your contend.
Utrecht on top!!
Did the previous video get deleted?
Hey is there a way how i can message you?
maybe i'll move there :o
❤❤❤
❤
The random explosions were probably fireworks!
For some reason Dutch people just really love fireworks, especially teenagers will just randomly set them off and play with them even when it's not that close to the new year.
7th comment ❤
would you leave Berlin for this city?
I dont like berlin 😅 so yes. But it really depends what your looking for in a city
Could you do Sweden video, please 🙏🙏🥹
Would love to but i never lived nor even visited sweden 😅 but it is on my bucket list
utrecht is cool
gulls are a menace and super annoying sound wise
your lil hair swoop was cute
8:50 It is more complicated:
There is lack of houses
There is a strong corelation between ethnisity and crime (up to 5× the level of the native populasion)
Also there are problems with imigration: since the imigration has risen a lot there is an increasing number of imigrants refusing to imigrate, trying to refuse society and ban traditions, and a counter movement refusing to accept imigrants, which is also not possible due to a lack of labour and even more complicated ethical debates.
You are adorable
髪の毛切ったのですね。似合います。
Hello
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Hey Erika I saw you at the cyprus airport today buying some alcohol was that you ? I was gonna say hello but I didn't want to piss you off
No, that wasn't me :D There is a low chance you would find me buying alcohol in an airport :D But if you ever see me feel free to say hi
UUUUUU
Lived there for 5 years but can’t even pronounce it properly
Must get more shrek.
Must get surf shark.
Yo, lived 4 years in Utrecht and yes it is the best city ive lived in so far
Oetrecht 😆😆
great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great
I once got suck with my car there when I visited a goth festival in the city. I ended up on tram rails with a tram hurrying up toward behind me. Somehow I managed to escape.😕
you are talking - and I am listening. Utrecht is probably o.k. when you say so.. But actually nothing "clicked" in me. I still wonder why Utrecht ? Has Utrecht a soul? Is it just close to Amsterdam? If Utrecht is the best city in Netherlands - does it get the presentation it deserves? ( I like your vedeos but my hearing isn't too good,, I would appreciate it you used a better microphone, thanks).
Is your hair naturally blond, ginger or both?
everywhere is easy to get to in most dutch cities, thank god we got more than one airport or trains stations. dear god this video is such an rubbish mess
You are pretty, but harido dont know...
Anything that create doesn't means God
Example
I made a statue I made the statue from rock I made the statue not the rock I was able to make the statue because the rock existed conclusion God made us not the universe
God was able to make the universe because the material existed for the universe to be created
What do u nerds in the comment section think comment below
wat een poep stad is utrecht, Groningen for life!!, nah just kidding utrecht is a fine place
❤
