| Page Views: 2,691 Last Visit to Maastricht: 2005 I Used To Live Here | Maastricht -- beautiful city on the Maas by gkitzmil - last update: Feb 22, 2009 |
I was lucky to be able to live in Maastricht for about 1/2 of a year!
What I noticed is how many tourists stopped -- especially on weekends --- and that is a clear indication of how worthy this town is of a visit.
But it was a fascinating place to live. I could easily enjoy living in Maastricht again. And I have one friend who visits Maastricht frequently -- and is there even as I wrote this |
