Maastricht tours

Things to do in Maastricht

Maastrict, reputed to be the oldest city in the Netherlands, is filled with bustling public squares, car-free shopping streets and charming neighborhood pubs, making it the ideal destination for art lovers, architecture buffs and culture vultures. Take a Maastricht private tour and explore this inviting Dutch city with a local guide. The Romans first bridged the Meuse river in the first century, and the city flourished on the trade route between France and Germany. Prosperity eventually led to attacks by envious outsiders, forcing Maastricht to fortify itself against foreign invaders. Ask your guide to point out still-standing sections of the city walls. Seeking cutting-edge galleries and stimulating coffee houses? Explore Rechtstraat in the Wyck district. If people watching is your preference, head to Vrijthof, the city's best public square. When happy hour strikes, huddle around a Heineken before heading to Binninstad to liven up your night with live music.
