Maastricht is Culinary
The Limburg 'G' symbolizes the good life, enjoyment, hospitality, and togetherness. This unique sound and the values it represents make Limburg distinctive and recognizable. The local gastronomy, rooted in the fertile Limburg soil, offers an abundance of high-quality regional products, proudly cultivated, prepared, and presented by the Limburgers themselves.
