Bookshop Dominicanen

Bookshop Dominicanen

Heavenly bookshop. Spectacular old church, and thankfully preserved as a bookshop due to the efforts of the people of Maastricht. Great coffee as well.

Bisschopsmolen

Bisschopsmolen

The smells of fresh-baked bread and vlaai. You just can’t walk past that smell of fresh-baked spelt bread and Limburg’s favorite sweet tart, ‘vlaai’, without stopping in here!

Cellebroederskapel (chapel)

Cellebroederskapel (chapel)

Silent monument. Hidden behind a historic gateway in the facade of number 58, you find this domain of silence.

Sint Servaas Treasure Chamber

Sint Servaas Treasure Chamber

Sacred treasures. This is where Maastricht keeps her greatest treasures. The most precious is the reliquary of St. Servaas, the Netherlands’ first bishop.

Market Square

Market Square

The Markt square is the heart of Maastricht, boasting the contemporary architecture of the municipal offices and crowned by the beautiful seventeenth-century city hall. The Markt’s character suits the centre of a city, with the bustle of businesspeople and a noisy weekly market.

Stokstraat Quarter

Stokstraat Quarter

The collection of streets between the city centre and the Jeker quarter is known as the Stokstraat quarter. It’s that historic corner of the city between two statues, ‘De Mestreechter Geis’ and ‘Slevrouwe’. All of these streets ultimately lead to the ever-charming, intimate and romantic Onze Lieve Vrouweplein. In this part of the city, you can find the warmth and charm of a classic Maastricht pub on virtually every corner.

Vrijthof Square

Vrijthof Square

It’s been called the most beautiful square in the country. Maybe it’s because when you stand in the middle of the Vrijthof and look around, you could almost forget you’re in the Netherlands. But perhaps it’s also because it’s the cultural heart of the city. The place where the theater is framed by intriguing museums and spectacular churches. But it’s also the place that undergoes a metamorphosis almost weekly, smoothly transitioning from each cultural season and event to the next.

Hells Gate (Helpoort)

Hells Gate (Helpoort)

The Hells Gate, dated to 1229, is the oldest city gate in the Netherlands. It was originally a part of the city wall of Maastricht and has been used as meeting point for cloth fullers. Today you will instead find helpful guides to answer your questions.

Apostelhoeve Vineyard

Apostelhoeve Vineyard

In the Limburg region just outside Maastricht, vineyards cover the hills. At the 15th century farm Apostelhoeve, guided tours, around the growths and the wine cellars are held. A wine tasting with some light snacks are provided after the tour.

Charles Eyck Park

Charles Eyck Park

Green on the Meuse. Céramique’s park, along the Meuse, is a favourite picnic and gathering place for students and locals.
