Maastricht Vacation Guide
Maastricht is the capital of the Dutch province 'Limburg' and situated along the Maas river. It is the second most international city in the Netherlands, as the University of Maastricht attracts students from all over the world, and is only surpassed by Amsterdam. Within the European context, Maastricht is also known to be the place where the Maastricht Treaty was signed in 1992, creating the European Union. This document was signed in the 'Provinciehuis' (provincial government headquarters).
Maastricht is a charming and historical city. Its roots date back to Roman times and hence Maastricht is known for its many (Catholic) churches and chapels as well as for the caves in the 'Sint Pietersberg'. Situated in the south of The Netherlands the city's inhabitants have a southern mentality; warm and welcoming.
Some of the country's best dining is done in Maastricht, home to many restaurants, bars, cafés and as many as 7 theaters. The beautiful buildings and friendly atmosphere of the city make it worth a visit any time. There are a lot of art students in Maastricht and if you like to visit museums there is enough choice. Especially the Bonnefantenmuseum (in a remarkable building by Aldo Rossi) is well known.
If you like exclusive hotels and stunning architecture, the Kruisherenhotel is the place to be. It is a modern hotel built in an old church. Also, the bookshop Selexyz is situated within an old church, which has been beautifully renovated, at the Dominikanerkerkstraat.
