Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

One of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, Maastricht, is a charming university metropolis at the southern tip of the country that is renowned for its beautiful medieval-era architecture and vibrant, international cultural scene. The city’s Old Town features quaint, cobblestone streets lined with charming, historic buildings, including the Romanesque Basilica of St. Servatius and the Gothic-style church of Sint Janskerk. In stark contrast to the Old Town, the futuristic-looking Bonnefanten art museum rests on the opposite side of the Maas River, which bisects the city, and offers an array of outdoor activities in the summer.
