Maastricht is a city to fall in love with, and that's hardly surprising. Beautiful Maastricht has been seducing visitors into staying longer for centuries. Thankfully, this city also offers a wide array of choices for her guests. Maastricht is an enthralling city with many magnificent buildings and vibrant squares and districts, such as the Jeker Quarter, the Stokstaart Quarter, the cosy square by the Basilica of Our Lady and the Markt with its numerous restaurants and cafés. This city on the river Maas boasts stunning eye-cathers including the Sint Servaasbrug and the Sint Jan on the renowned Vrijthof square. Maastricht's most famous museum is the Bonnefantenmuseum. Other interesting museums include the 'Nederlands Architectuurinstituut', the 'Historische Drukkerij', the 'Museum aan het Vrijthof' and the treasury of the Basilica of Saint Servatius.
From Maastricht you can enjoy days out to the cities of Liège and Hasselt, visit the Valkenburg caves, take a boat trip along the river Maas, or a bike ride past the most splendid places the province of Limburg has to offer; including Château Neercanne, for instance. This renowned 17th century castle, located in the hilly landscape of Jekerdal near the Belgian border, is the only terraced castle in the Netherlands. Walk through its pretty baroque gardens and you'll reach the restaurant where the most eloquent of dishes are prepared. Fun for all ages are Toverland Sevenum, Pretpark Valkenier Valkenburg, Labyrinth Drielandenpunt Vaals, Snowworld Landgraaf and Recreatiepark Steinerbos, while Mount Saint Peter offers a fantastic and unique view of Limburg's hilly landscape. An adventurous trip through the marl caves is an absolute must. In Heerlen, you'll find the Thermae Museum showcasing the Netherlands' best preserved Roman bathhouse. The Schutterspark lies in Brunssum and features a playground, children's farm and a large walking area. You can also enjoy a great view of the Limburg hills from the Wilhemina Tower cableway in Valkenburg.
