When on holiday in South Limburg, a visit to the capital Maastricht is a must. From historic buildings, trendy boutiques, stately churches, cosy terraces and adventurous marl caves. Maastricht has it all! A visit to the Netherlands' most European city should definitely be on your list!

Maastricht's highlights ⤵

Maastricht has a lot to offer. To give you some inspiration, we have listed some highlights: ⤵

1. The Vrijthof

We think The Vrijthof is the most beautiful square in the Netherlands. It is located in the heart of the city. You will find many nice terraces, but you can also spend an evening at the theatre.

2. Wyck

With its atmospheric streets, cosy terraces and unusual boutiques, Wyck is the best part of Maastricht as far as we are concerned.

3. Bonnefanten museum

The Bonnefanten museum in Maastricht presents surprising permanent collections and changing exhibitions by exceptional artists.

4. ENCI quarry

The ENCI quarry is a great example of how an industrial area has been given back to nature. For years, lime was excavated in this area to make cement in the nearby factories. Mining of the Limburg limestone has since stopped, resulting in a huge pit in the landscape. If you love nature, we recommend you definitely visit the ENCI quarry.
