Enjoyment in true southern tradition
We’ll let you in on a little secret... Visiting Maastricht during the week is so much better than at the weekend! Just imagine... Having the city to yourself. No endless queues or fully booked restaurants, but a city with plenty of peace and quiet. Stroll through the city, lose your way in the charming streets until you arrive at a beautiful basilica. Light a candle, like the locals do every day, and take a moment to appreciate all the beauty. If you visit Maastricht between Thursday and Sunday you’ll experience the city like a local.
Our city just got even tastier
