Opening times Maastricht
Maastricht is almost back in full swing. The city welcomes you with open arms – at a safe distance, of course! Bars, cafés, and restaurants have been allowed to offer outdoor as well as indoor seating until 10 PM. Shops were the first to reopen, but cultural institutions have followed since. That's definitely good news, but have you made time to explore the city? Maastricht offers plenty of space for exploration. The city is nice and quiet on weekdays, and the Sphinxkwartier, Jekerkwartier and Wyck districts are less crowded. In these districts you can take your time to enjoy Maastricht.
You can still shop locally in Maastricht via online means. Most shops have an online store where you can easily order anything on offer. If you're already shopping locally, then click here to view all the online stores.
