Private tour of Fortifications
T / m 1 February
The martial past of the oldest fortified city in the Netherlands comes to life during this unique tour of Maastricht's fortifications.
An Official Maastricht Guide will walk with you along special defence works and military monuments and over the city walls, making history palpable. For centuries, these fortifications that protected the city of Maastricht from sieges were worked on almost continuously.
While walking, the tour passes the Helpoort (oldest surviving gate in the Netherlands), the Pater Vinck turret, the Pesthuis, the 13th century city wall, the cannons and de hoofdwacht, among others. Beautiful monuments now, but once bitter necessities during attacks on the city.
In short, an impressive tour of a fascinating piece of Maastricht history dating back to Roman times.
