Why discover Maastricht in a different way?

Maastricht does, of course, have well-known attractions, but it is precisely off the beaten track that you’ll discover the atmosphere that makes the city so special. That’s where you stroll along the old city walls and enjoy a coffee at a local business or roastery. If you’re a fan of art or fancy taking part in a creative workshop, why not visit a studio? Afterwards, you can sit on a terrace frequented mainly by locals. Those who choose to explore the local side of Maastricht will discover a city full of stories, craftsmanship and encounters with the people who make the city what it is.

Combining nature and culture

On the outskirts of Maastricht, the city gives way to limestone, steep slopes and quiet walking trails. On the Mount Saint Peter and in the ENCI quarry, the landscape feels surprisingly rugged, whilst the historic centre is never far away. Within a few minutes, you can swap the tranquillity of nature for historic streets, galleries and squares.
