Maastricht

Maastricht extends across both sides of the Meuse River, featuring narrow streets, architectural monuments, and squares filled with outdoor cafes and restaurants.

The city developed from a Roman settlement named Trajectum ad Mosam into a medieval religious center and later transformed into an industrial center during the 19th century.

The European Fine Art Fair brings international art dealers and collectors to Maastricht annually, displaying paintings, sculptures, and antiques from different periods.

The central train station connects to major Dutch cities, while the A2 motorway tunnel beneath the city reduces traffic and improves access to Belgium and Germany.

Mount Saint Peter contains an extensive network of limestone caves, created through centuries of mining, which served as hiding places during World War II.
