Location

Maastricht, the Netherlands, is a crosspoint of different European cultures, symbolized by the Maastricht treaty for the unification of Europe. The city not only offers magnificent historical monuments and interesting musea, but is also a rapidly developing, rich and modern center. On the other hand, the city is relatively small (about 125,000 inhabitants) which makes everything within easy reach.

For information on travel to and within Maastricht and for additional sightseeing information see under Travel.
