Vintage for girls and boy's. And at times beautiful classic design furniture. Bit messy, but that allows you to find your own perfect dress, boots, kimono's or the like. really cheap.
next door to PUHA and across the street there's a better curated vintage shop which is much more expensive.

The Oudegracht is the canal that meanders through Utrecht. Walk it from beginning to the end, it will take you about half an hour, and you'll have a perfect idea of all the nice neighborhoods in the intercity. At one point it will bring you to the Nieuwegracht, also a canal, which is the prettiest -and the most expensive part- of town.

Parks & Nature
griftpark is quite a recent park. not really what you would expect, it has an open feel. in the far corner there's a children's farm and a garden where people from the neighborhood grow their own vegetables and flowers. good for running or a walk at your own leisurely pace. not really my favorite, but good for a quick breath of fresh air.
