It was and still is the See of the Archbishop of Utrecht, the most important Catholic leader in the Netherlands. The University of Utrecht is the largest in the Netherlands. One of the unique features of the city is the wharf system in its inner canals. Before the city was fully canalised, parts of the Rhine River flowed through the city center.<br>Utrecht\u2019s iconic symbol is the Dom Tower, at a height of 112 metres the tallest church spire in the Netherlands. During a <a href=\"https:\/\/nhess.copernicus.org\/articles\/17\/157\/2017\/\">likely derecho event on 1 August 1674<\/a>, the nave of the Dom church was literally blown away. The choir and the tower remained standing. The nave was never rebuilt and thus the Dom church is now only half a church. A long renovation project was completed very recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lodging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your preferences and budget you can choose from a wide selection of hotels and other accomodation types, as Utrecht is a main tourist and business destination. \u201cSpecial Conference Offers\u201d quite frequently turn out to be fake. Therefore we refrain from such a list and kindly ask you to book via your preferred booking portal or directly with the hotel of your choice, which may be even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel to Utrecht <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ECSS2025 venue, TivoliVredenburg, is <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/7zYtqDrxV8Mhz5QU9\">located<\/a> right next to Utrecht\u2019s central train station, in the heart of Utrecht. From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ns.nl\/en\/journeyplanner\/#\/?vertrek=Schiphol%20Airport&amp;vertrektype=treinstation&amp;aankomst=Utrecht%20Centraal&amp;aankomsttype=treinstation&amp;type=vertrek\">only 30 minutes<\/a> to Utrecht Centraal by direct train.  <br>Public transport (like the train ticket from Schiphol Airport to Utrecht Central Station) can conveniently be paid for by debit or credit card. Just check in at the gate to the platform with a debit card (Maestro, V PAY) or credit card (Mastercard or Visa) and check out with the same card upon arrival at the destination station. This has recently been introduced and makes it really easy to take any train or bus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, you can buy a train ticket at the train station or order an e-ticket via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ns.nl\/en\">website<\/a>. There are daily international trains from and to Brussels (2 hours), Cologne (2,5 hours), Frankfurt (3 hours), and Paris (3,5 hours). For more info, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ns.nl\/en\">www.ns.nl<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsinternational.com\/en\/\">www.nsinternational.com<\/a> (international). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren-1024x682.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14335\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/domkerk-en-domtoren\/\" class=\"wp-image-14335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/domkerk-en-domtoren.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Dom Tower is the icon of Utrecht.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14343\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/picture6\/\" class=\"wp-image-14343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6.png 602w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture6-480x300.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Utrecht City Hall is situated in the heart of the city, right on Oudegracht.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14342\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/picture5\/\" class=\"wp-image-14342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5.png 602w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture5-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Monday\u2019s icebreaker will be at Winkel van Sinkel, originally a Dutch store, built between 1837 and 1839.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture4.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14341\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/picture4\/\" class=\"wp-image-14341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture4.png 602w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture4-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.essl.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture4-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Utrecht is famous for its canals and wharfs.
