Maastricht
When you say Maastricht, the first things that come to mind might be medieval streets, chic boutiques, and a touch of French flair. That's right: this isn’t your average Dutch city. Nestled by the gentle curves of the river Meuse in the southern tip of the Netherlands, Maastricht feels like a world apart. It's where ancient city walls meet cutting-edge galleries, and snug little cafés sit comfortably along fine dining restaurants. Indulge in some serious shopping therapy, have a cappuccino in a tucked-away square, visit a museum, or just enjoy the fact that life moves a little slower down here. We promise: Maastricht will leave you wanting more.
Get your bearings
Finding your way in Maastricht couldn’t be easier – everything worth seeing is just a short stroll away. Cross the iconic Sint Servaasbrug from Wyck and take in the mix of grand old buildings and lovely squares. Stop by the Vrijthof for a coffee or visit the Bisschopsmolen to savour a slice of their famous 'vlaai'. Don’t miss the Jekerkwartier, where history meets a bohemian vibe. Easy to reach by train or car, Maastricht has the perfect size to explore at your own pace.
Don't miss
Maastricht is full of surprises and hidden gems! Close to our hotel, the must-visit Bonnefantenmuseum has its own riverside café – perfect for a delicious lunch. Blending contemporary art with Mediterranean flavours in a lovely city garden, Marres is another hotspot for culture lovers. Also, make sure to go to the world’s most beautiful bookstore, set in a magical old church. And for a truly local experience, head to Café Sjiek for traditional dishes and a lively atmosphere.
While you're there
Explore Maastricht’s top attractions, like the mysterious caves beneath St. Peter's Mountain, the only official mountain in the Netherlands. Afterward, swap land for water with a relaxing boat ride along the Meuse. Don’t miss the Markt, Maastricht’s oldest square. This is where you'll find local vendors, sunny terraces, and often times all sorts of events. And if you’re lucky enough to catch Carnival, the streets will be alive with color, music, and a whole lot of fun.
