Arthouse and cuisine combo
If you’re into arthouse cinema, Lumiere Cinema (Lumière Cinema Restaurant Café) will be screening the perfect film for you. From interesting documentaries to cultural and international cinematography... the film programme at Lumière never disappoints. And the great thing about Lumière Cinema is that you can combine a film with dinner beforehand or a drink afterwards in the restaurant café, a special restaurant with outdoor area located by the water in 't Bassin area.

Walking, exploring, and taking a break
From Slavante to the ENCI quarry, Mount Saint Peter (Sint Pietersberg) never fails to amaze. A magnificent nature reserve with a variety of tourist attractions and activities. During the day, you can enjoy a tour of the marl caves, where a guide will lead you through the darkness while you explore impressive works of art. Afterwards, go for a long walk across the ‘mountain’, and arrive at a number of vantage points: the viewing platform at the ENCI quarry, the Kiekoet, a bird-watching spot made of COR-TEN steel overlooking the Oehoevallei (Eagle-owl valley), and views of Château Neercanne. End the day in style with dinner at Buitengoed Slavante restaurant. Here, you can enjoy fantastic views of the vineyard with the Meuse in the background. And if you’re lucky, catch the sunset!

A taste of history on an artisan getaway
Not so much for in the evening, but a great suggestion for late afternoon: a tour of the brewing history of Bosch Brewery, Maastricht's last remaining city brewery. A place where tradition and craftsmanship come together. Explore the well-preserved maltings, brewery and brewer's residence, and be transported back to a time when beer was still brewed with craftsmanship. Be amazed by the flavours of the brewery’s craft beers by opting for the ‘Grand Chique de Maastricht’ tour. As well as sampling a number of different beers, you also get to enjoy coffee, chocolates, and the establishment’s delicious Bosch beer. What a treat!
