Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Houten is a nice village 8 kms from the centre of Utrecht. It is well-connected by train and car, and from Houten, every place in the Netherlands is easily reached (Amsterdam 30 min. by train). Houten itself has a pittoresk ancient centre with good pubs and restaurants, and has won several prices for best bicycle city of the year. It is spacey and green, and within minutes you are in the surrounding countryside. It is very friendly for (young) kids. From our house it's a five minute walk to the train station.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our house it's a short walk to the busy cafe's and restaurants. There is also a shopping centre on walking distance. After a five minute walk, you'll reach a trainstation which is directly connected with the lovely city, Utrecht. This city is well known for its lovely and cosy streets and for its huge amount of canals. You can reach Utrecht after an 8 minute travel by train. And the capital, Amsterdam, is only 30 minutes away, also by train. Houten has an interesting architecture. The surroundings are mostly rural and forested. There is a citylake were you can swim or picknick at the small beach. Houten organises a lot of events in the city which are mostly very fun to attent.
