Known as the 'garden village', this picturesque town has many fine gardens and grand old homes. Don't miss the celebrated National Trust-listed Everglades Gardens, a 1930s treasure featuring European-style gardens. The beautiful natural attractions around Leura are best seen from lookouts at the end of any number of cliff top walking trails. And the village delights shoppers with all manner of boutiques and gourmet food at the many cafés and restaurants.

Wyck has often been described as the up-and-coming part of Maastricht. Even though it’s still a dynamic area in development, it’s already seen a real transformation from ten years ago. Today, it’s hard to imagine that there was a time that this side of the Meuse was dismissed as ‘outside Maastricht,’ and the people of Wyck were considered bumpkins. But this history has also had a defining impact, and made Wyck into the unique urban borough that it is. The many contemporary and exclusive shops, hotels, restaurants, and creative enterprises that have come here in recent years are a perfect fit with the long-standing local boutiques, fine food shops, and the locals themselves. That’s what makes Wyck one of the best places in Maastricht to live, work, and shop. On weekdays Wyck is bustling with business from the train station to the river, and on weekends it is just as jumping, with the tourists and day visitors tarrying here to ‘warm up’ for a day out on the town. Today, it’s rightly said that you haven’t seen Maastricht until you’ve seen Wyck!

This small town is great for enjoying crisp mountain air, brisk walks, good food and cosy accommodation. The village is on an escarpment that has spectacular mountain scenery on both sides. Govetts Leap Lookout, Evans Lookout and Hargraves Lookout are high-elevation viewing platforms from where you can observe the natural wonder of this World Heritage area.
