Vredenburg is a central square in Utrecht located between the historic city centre and Utrecht Centraal station. It serves as a public space used for weekly markets, events, and as a main access point to shopping areas like Hoog Catharijne. Its central location makes it easy to access by public transport or on foot from Utrecht city centre.
