Building on the past
A city with - a great past
Maastricht has a great past that can still be seen and felt in the city. Maastricht's historic streets and many monuments bring to life the crises, reigns and victories on which the city was built. We cherish that rich past and combine it with renewal. This is how we continue to build the Maastricht of today.
