Maastricht, elegant Dutch city

by ATLC - last update: Dec 18, 2003

Someone asked me about Maastricht. Which made me realise I hadn't even started on a page for one of the most vibrant, and definitely most elegant city of The Netherlands. Joie de vivre!

I wrote to him (somewhere in 2002):
Maastricht is a wonderful city. Visit St. Servaas Basilique, the WWII museum and the caves in the St. Pietersberg mountain. And have a shopping spree!
Best restaurant in Maastricht, in fact one of the top 5 in The Netherlands, is Toine Hermsen (St Bernardusstr 2-4, 6211 HL Maastricht)
And for a midmorning coffee break (if you've had a light breakfast) go have a big piece of "vlaai"...(fruit pie) on the Vrijthof. They serve a great one at Panaché (facing St. Servaas on the famous square Vrijthof): the apple vlaai with warm custard!

Panaché these days is called The Square but has the same delightful "vlaai" with warm vanilla sauce.

At the moment (Nov. 2002) I have nearly 100 photo's yet to be developed. Please return for a completely updated page!

Plenty of info on www.vvvmaastricht.nl

Pros:"Nightlife for all ages, very old buildings, great shopping"
Cons:"Maastricht dialect is not easy to understand"
In A Nutshell:"Savoir-vivre!"

 Hello Anke, thanks for the helpful tips on Maastricht. I just live in Belgium and I am thinking of exploring my neighbor Maastricht one of these days. Is there a Tourist Info at the station itself? Thanks, have a nice day!
