More and more hotspots are springing up in the peaceful Oog in Al area. A visit to Strand Oog in Al is a must during a day out in Utrecht.
Oog in Al is a spacious, chic neighbourhood in the western part of the city, with beautiful houses from the 1930s. Although it used to be mainly a residential area, in recent years the neighbourhood has been embellished with hotspots and creative initiatives. For instance, the old Cereol factory has been refurbished into a multifunctional building including a library and a nice café-restaurant. In Park Oog in Al, you can sit among the local residents in a cosy teahouse. But the real hotspot in the district is Strand Oog in Al (Soia). In summer, hip Utrecht gathers here to watch the cargo ships on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal with their feet in the sand.
