Maastricht is a great place to explore on foot, and it’s even more fun to discover the stories behind Maastricht with the help of a ‘local.’ The professional guides working with VVV Maastricht are proud ‘locals’ who will enjoy showing you the most beautiful places in their city. For more details visit the website of the VVV Maastricht.

Maastricht can rightfully claim to be one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. The city is a living and breathing outdoor museum, and the streets are full of reminders that the city once served as a Roman post, a city of pilgrimage, a medieval fortified city, and one of the first centres of the Dutch industrial revolution.
