Vianen is a
municipality and a
city in the central
Netherlands, in the province of
Utrecht. It is the only municipality in Utrecht located south of the
Lek River. Before 2002 it was part of the province of
South Holland. Vianen is bordered by two major
motorways leading to Utrecht: the
A2 (Amsterdam-Maastricht) on its west, and the
A27 (Breda-Almere) just east of the town. Both roads can be notoriously congested near Vianen during peak commute hours.
