Maastricht - dean of the Netherlands

Situated in the far south-east of the Netherlands, close to the Belgian and German borders, Maastricht is a prime historical destination, easily accessible by train. It stands out for its medieval architecture, cosmopolitan culture and lively university atmosphere. With over 1,600 listed monuments, including St Servatius Basilica, Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. The ‘Vrijthof’, the beating heart of the city, is a vast, majestic square lined with lively terraces and flanked by two monumental churches. Not to mention the unmissable bookshop housed in the former Dominican church, which is truly one of a kind.

Easily accessible from Luxembourg by train, Maastricht is just under three and a half hours away.
