An independent visitor guide to Maastricht and its neighbourhoods.

About the guide

The routes and selections are editorial recommendations. Practical details are checked against venue and operator information; use the booking links for current opening times and availability. Short language editions accompany the longer English guides. Translations have not yet had independent native-speaker review.

There are no paid placement or affiliate links. The ceramic study is an original digital illustration inspired by the city’s visual character, not a reproduction of a historical Sphinx tile. The city map uses OpenStreetMap data. The bridge, gate and factory studies are original interpretive artwork, not measured building surveys.
