10x eating ice cream in Maastricht
The ultimate holiday feeling? Picking a nice spot in the sun with the best view in town. And then... Enjoying a delicious ice cream made by one of Maastricht's top culinary chefs. But beware, even the tastiest ice cream melts on hot days. That is why in this blog we tell you where to go for the best ice creams in town. Saves you time!
Luna Rossa
You'll find Gelateria Luna Rossa in two places in Maastricht. In the Wyck district, you'll find Luna Rossa's tastiest scoops of ice cream on the corner of Plein 1992, actually up against the Céramique district. Although the ice cream is just as delicious, the location on Onze Lieve Vrouweplein is also really worth a visit. At the foot of the Basilica of Our Lady, you can enjoy the delicious scoop ice cream in an old 'guardhouse'. This is where the gatekeepers used to stay. The monumental building has been preserved in honour and is characteristic of the historic city centre. The display cases full of the most unusual flavours of ice cream are truly mouth-watering!
