About Maastricht

Set on the Meuse River in the southernmost corner of the Netherlands, Maastricht has long captivated visitors with its fusion of classic Dutch charm and lively international buzz. Boasting intriguing Roman and Spanish-era ruins, fascinating museums and a plethora of unique architecture, the city will delight heritage and design buffs alike. Accommodation options are wide-ranging, with many of the best places to stay in Maastricht clustered around the old city centre; perfect for exploring on foot. We've discovered some great design hotels, apartments for those who like their independence and some beautiful little B&Bs.

A university city, Maastricht’s vibrant, youthful feel is immensely appealing. Expect regular art exhibitions and live music events, as well as a thriving evening party scene. The backdrop of beautiful French and Belgian architecture creates a warm atmosphere, grounding the city in its rich past. Highlights include the dazzling Basilicas of Our Lady and of St. Servatius, the centuries-old St Servaas Bridge, and the vast Vrijthof and Market Squares. Step into striking churches, tour the world-class Bonnefantenmuseum, and browse for books at the unusual Boekhandel Dominicanen.

An extensive network of caves and tunnels unfolds beneath the city, creating a subterranean world in itself — and one well worth exploring with an expert guide. Slightly out of the city centre, Fort Sint Pieter offers an insight into the city’s historic defences, whilst the surrounding landscapes of lively Limburg are threaded with wonderful walking and cycling trails. This is an immensely popular city break destination, so book your room at one of the best places to stay in Maastricht well in advance!
