Social power
Coincidental encounters - are never far away
In Maastricht, chance encounters are never far away. Just on the street, in places where locals meet or within the city's club life. In addition, Maastricht people are connected by the Mestreechter Geis, the 'spirit' of the city. These factors generate spontaneous conversations and surprising initiatives. That's the social strength of Maastricht.
