On this date in 1122, Emperor Henrik V made Utrecht into a city proper. Today, Utrecht is celebrating its 888th birthday. The city looks good for its age! You can get in on the celebration by attending any of the variety of events going on around town today and in some cases throughout the week. Some museums are offering free entrance, other spots have special offers for anyone with a name derived from Henrik; a bronze seal of the city is being placed in the pavement at the Vismarkt; and much more. Check the special Stadsdag website (in Dutch) for the full program of events.
