Maastricht railway station

The central railway station of Maastricht features a brick building from 1913 designed by architect George Willem van Heukelom at the eastern bank of Meuse river.

The first station, constructed in wood outside city limits in 1853, allowed rapid demolition due to Maastricht's military defense requirements at that time.

The station area transformed from a customs checkpoint into a commercial hub, now housing retail establishments including flower shops, supermarkets, and cafes.

The station serves as a central transportation point with connections to Dutch cities through NS Intercity services and international routes to Belgium through Arriva trains.

Starting June 2024, Arriva will replace the Belgian National Railway service on the Liège-Maastricht route, marking a change in international train operations.
