Experience Maastricht
Magical Maastricht
The month of December in Maastricht is truly magical. The city is beautifully illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights in trees, monuments, and even the smallest of boutiques. The city centre is the place where the whole of Maastricht comes together to celebrate winter.
