Throwback

Throwback: 1972 - Voorstraat

Voorstraat, one of the oldest streets in Utrecht, dates back to the 1300s. It became an important thoroughfare for merchants, artisans, students, entrepreneurs and residents. In 1972, it was not yet a street brimming with design and vintage shops, eateries and coffee shops and cars were not yet banned, but it has always retained some of its charming unpolished-ness.
