Hoteles en Maastricht

Maastricht is the southernmost city in the Netherlands and is very close to both Belgium and Germany. The city was founded by the Romans in 50 BC and is the oldest city in the Netherlands, full of magnificent old buildings, beautiful cathedrals, and historic cobblestone squares. A total of 1,450 monuments and buildings in the city are protected historic sites. Maastricht gets its name from the Maas river, which divides the city in two parts. Maastricht is a small city, with approximatey 120,000 residents, but is known for its vibrant cultural scene, its cuisine, and its university. The city and its surrounding region are different from many other areas of the Netherlands, not only because the food and weather are better, but also because they have a more relaxed atmosphere. In addition to its wealth of historical sights and contemporary cultural events, Maastricht also has some wonderful shopping opportunities and charming pubs, with more bars per square kilometre than any other Dutch city.
