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. A visit to Maastricht can easily be combined with a day trip spent exploring the surrounding area. After all, Maastricht's central location within the Euregion means that you never have far to go. The Belgian city of Liège, just over the border, has a deservedly famous Sunday market plus a lot more to offer. And the German city of Aachen, with its impressive cathedral and numerous sidewalk cafés, is also not far away and Valkenburg, with its caves and many cosy cafés. Less well-known is the fact that Limburg is the only Dutch winegrowing province. Finally, the city hosted the sign of the Maastricht Treaty (formally, the Treaty on European Union, TEU) on 7 February 1992 after final negotiations on 9 December 1991 between the members of the European Community and entered into force on 1 November 1993 during the Delors Commission. As a result the European Union was created and led to the creation of the euro.
