Maastricht: Overview

Southern stunner with a medieval heart, sandwiched between Germany and Belgium.

Swish Maastricht is renowned for world-class dining, top-notch events and an elegant atmosphere. This crown jewel of the south ditches the Dutch stereotypes in favour of a sophisticated pan-European flavour. And wait a minute, what country are we in? There are actually hills here!
