Maastricht, Netherlands

Why Walk Maastricht

Maastricht sits at the southern tip of the Netherlands, where Dutch, Belgian, and German cultures blend into something uniquely cosmopolitan. The Vrijthof, the grand central square flanked by two churches, is the city's social hub, surrounded by terraces and cafes. The Basilica of Our Lady, with its dark Romanesque interior and candlelit chapel, is one of the most atmospheric churches in the country. The Stokstraatkwartier is an elegant shopping district of designer boutiques in 17th-century townhouses. The Dominicanen bookshop, housed in a 13th-century Gothic church, is one of the world's most beautiful bookstores. Underground, the Sint-Pietersberg caves — 80 kilometers of man-made passages from centuries of limestone quarrying — offer eerie guided tours. The Meuse River promenades and the hilltop Fort Sint Pieter round out a remarkably diverse walking city.
