The Utrecht Guide helps English-speaking residents handle everyday life in the municipality. Find checked information about healthcare, housing, registration, schools, transport, money and local services. Each entry explains who a service is for, how to contact it, whether English support is confirmed and when our information was last checked.

Start with a step-by-step pathway if you are new to Utrecht, or browse a category when you need a specific organisation. This is a residents’ guide rather than a visitor itinerary: the aim is to help you complete a real task with fewer searches and fewer uncertain translations.
