A city of its own, Maastricht is unlike anywhere else in the Netherlands.

Maastricht was once the country’s secret city, but no longer. With a dynamic energy and trend-setting buzz, its not surprising that this university town wasn’t able to stay hidden. A showcase of old artistic mastery and contemporary creativity, Maastricht mixes the best of every era. Plus, the town throws a wicked carnival party.

A blend of Dutch, French, Belgian and German traditions, its vibrant multiculturalism is one of the European Union’s most positive symbols. With a car, it’s an easy hop over the border into neighbouring countries. Alternatively, you can venture to the northern Netherlands for a complete Dutch excursion.

Although often visited as a city for business and political conferences, Maastricht is an interesting city in its own right. From the St Servatius Basilica to the Brewery de Keyzer, there are plenty of attractions to cater for every taste. easyCar provides cheap and convenient car rental facilities in Maastricht and at airport and city locations across the Netherlands.

Things to do Maastricht

Maastricht, as well as a centre for business, is also widely renowned for its cultural attractions. With a wealth of museums, galleries and historical sites on offer, culture vultures will never get tired. The Bonnefanten Museum houses work by old masters and modern artists. Flemish greats such as Rubens, van Dyck and Jordeans all have famous pieces inside. The Natural History Museum has an exhibition on the South Limburg area and offers a fascinating snapshot of past and current times, including fossils of giant turtles! For historical sites, the rich history of St Servatius Basilica makes for an engaging afternoon visit. Underneath the Derlon Hotel are some fascinating Roman remains preserved in the cellar, which can be accessed free of charge.
