Maastricht is a city where you can taste the good life, a city where quality abounds. Whether you plan to stay for a day or a long weekend in the city and region, Maastricht is a place not to be missed. Not only does Maastricht pride itself on its fine tradition of one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques, it also offers a unique range of hotels and restaurants in terms of diversity and quality. What I consider to be important is the service, creativity, innovation, reliability, and style that we incorporate in everything we do here in Maastricht. Maastricht is a sociable city with a sense of community. A city with a centuries-old history, which nevertheless keeps its eyes firmly on the future. Although we are a city full of trendy businesses, we also show you the grandeur of our past at every corner and on every square. Prepare to be surprised by this international university city with its charming centre and spectacular allure. Maastricht lies at the very heart of Europe as it is here where the European Union was created with the signing of the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992. Next year we will be celebrating this 25th anniversary. Maastricht welcomes the world! Annemarie Penn-te Strake Mayor of Maastricht 2 Lo cat i o n & at mos ph e r e Maastricht maastricht A place where north and south meet, the crossroads of the three countries that together make up the Euregion Meuse-Rhine, the place where it’s hard to believe you’re still on Dutch soil, it must be another country. This is the place where you’ll find Maastricht... COMPACT & CONTACT MAASTRICHT is the netherlands’ most european city You can feel it, you can see it, and you can taste it! It’s a place with a unique and authentic energy and dynamism that you won’t experience anywhere else in the Netherlands. Once it was the place where Germanic and Roman cultures collided; today it is the current mix of cultures, languages, and flavours that makes the city burst with creativity, research, enterprise, trend-setting and culinary delights. Today’s Maastricht is a city that has the best of all worlds: north and south; past and present. There are historic buildings and trendy designer boutiques; 4 majestic churches and thrilling cave adventures; inspired menus and inviting café terraces; lively festivals and sensational expositions; stately squares and vast vineyards. All this and more makes Maastricht a favourite destination for a day of shopping, a weekend away for two, or an elegant European holiday. EUREGIon The Euregion Meuse-Rhine is the three-country area where the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium meet, home to four million people and four different languages. At the heart of this area lies Maastricht. 5 You will feel right at home in Maastricht. You can get to know the very compact city centre very quickly, and you’ll be greeted warmly everywhere you go. The highlights are all within walking distance, and it’s hard to lose your way on the charming, mostly car-free, streets. But if you ever do, there’s always someone willing to point you in the right direction. thE ‘mestreechter geis’ Charm, playfulness, a healthy dose of humour, and a zest for life: these are the ingredients of the Maastricht local character. This character has been immortalized by the artist Mari Andriessen in the bronze statue ‘Mestreechter Geis’, on the square near Stokstraat. architecture & culture fas h i o n & fo o d Maastricht Maastricht HISTORIc buildings and contemporary architecture The whole of the Maastricht city centre has been declared a protected national monument. In the historic buildings and elegant houses, you will find a rich variety of architectural styles from different ages – from the early Roman period to the Maastricht Renaissance. Experience the seamless transition from stately, old façades to contemporary architecture and the historic buildings of the future. One beautiful example is the architecture district Céramique, built on the former site of a prominent ceramics factory. Another is the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design (MAFAD) on Herdenkingsplein, designed by Limburg architect Wiel Arets, which UNESCO has named as one of the most beautiful buildings of the 20th century. and where Maastricht and the region come to enjoy the many flavours of the Preuvenemint, the Netherlands’ largest food festival. VRIJTHOF square It’s been called the most beautiful square in the country. Maybe it’s because when you stand in the middle of the Vrijthof and look around, you could almost forget you’re in the Netherlands. But perhaps it’s also because it’s the cultural heart of the city. The place where the theatre is framed by intriguing museums and spectacular churches. But it’s also the place that undergoes a metamorphosis almost weekly, smoothly transitioning from each cultural season and event to the next, and the place where all the patchwork collection of colours and sounds of Carnival come together, the beautiful backdrop for the concerts of local favourite André Rieu, 6 city of shopping Designer boutiques and major labels are found in abundance, punctuated by genuine oneof-a-kind shops with unique must-have fashion, lifestyle, and design items and accessories. All this only adds to the rich setting of the historic city centre.

Every year, Maastricht winegrowers produce delicious and award-winning wines. Like De Apostelhoeve, which produces six lovely white wines from Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot gris grapes, as well as two sparkling wines. The Jeker Valley is also home to the country’s second-oldest vineyard, Hoeve Nekum, the wines of which are literally fit for a king - one of them, a Hoeve Nekum Riesling, was served at the wedding of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. For the best wines, have a look in at the Netherlands’ oldest wine shop, Thiessen Wijnkoopers, which also produces wines from its own urban vineyard! The oldest city? Maastricht and Nijmegen will probably continue to debate which of the two is the Netherlands’ oldest city for centuries to come, but whatever the answer, did you know that Maastricht is home to more historic buildings than 8 any city in the Netherlands save one? All over the city, you can still find the traces that go back to Maastricht the Roman settlement, religious centre, garrison city, and early industrial powerhouse. from roman settlement to european melting pot Roman settlement The name Maastricht comes from the Latin Mosae Trajectum, ‘crossing over the Meuse,’ which refers to the bridge over the river that the Romans built here around the first century AD.

Maastricht: A city’s biography ‘Zicht op Maastricht’ is the title of the cultural biography of Maastricht compiled from stories provided by cultural and heritage institutions, academics, professional and amateur historians, and most importantly, the people of 9 Maastricht themselves. Visit www.zichtopmaastricht.nl for the complete biography and a historical look at the city. A continuum of craftsmanship You have only to stroll through Maastricht to taste it, smell it, and experience it for yourself. Here, you find yourself in a continuum of crafts, some old, some with a modern twist. Take the Historical Printing Museum, where you step back in time onto the premises of a unique printing and engraving workshop that was active around 1900. Then there’s the Brewery Bosch, a craft brewery with equipment dating from 1900-1929, still operating in a building of industrial and archaeological significance; or the Bisschopsmolen, where the baker’s craft is taken to new heights alongside the country’s oldest still operating water mill of the Netherlands. MU ST SEES t r e asur e s Monuments Maastricht Gouvernement Provincial government building. An architectural highlight of the city, but perhaps better known as home to the table where the Treaty of Maastricht was signed. Helpoort Oldest city gate in the Netherlands. The Helpoort long served as a real and vital defensive work. Now it houses an exhibition on the history of Maastricht as fortified city. Sint Bernardusstraat 24B Limburglaan 10 city hall Heirloom of Maastricht. Built from 1659-1664 by the architect Pieter Post; the tower dates from 1684 and houses a carillon with 49 bells that is still played regularly. ecclesiastical ruins and churches Markt Historical Printing Museum Derlon museum cellar Old versus new. A perfect blend of old and new can be seen at Hotel Derlon, a contemporary designer hotel built above Roman findings from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th centuries, right in the historic heart of Maastricht. Plankstraat 21 Forgotten arts. Industrial heritage, artistry, and stories of the history of printing in Maastricht and beyond. Jodenstraat 22 het Dinghuis Home of VVV Maastricht. The name ‘Dinghuis’ comes from the Dutch dingen, which means ‘to administer judgement’. Until around 1650, this building was the courthouse of Maastricht. Kleine Staat 1 Maastricht has been a ‘tourist’ destination since the Middle Ages, ever since the many pilgrims who came to the city to visit the grave of St. Servatius. More than fifty churches, chapels, monasteries, and convents take part in the annual religious processions through the city, showing that religion is still a vibrant part of Maastricht’s culture. This is also expressed in the Procession of Holy Relics, a ten-day religious event that takes place once every seven years and draws tens of thousands of visitors. The procession goes back to 1391, and the next is scheduled for 2018. Maastricht has a great many impressive churches well worth a visit, perhaps the best-known being St. Servatius Basilica and Basilica of Our Lady, both Romanesque churches. But the lesser known, such as the Cellebroeders Chapel, St. John’s church, the first Friars Minor church, and many others, are equally exquisite and worth a visit. In recent years, thanks to creative enterprise many monasteries and churches have been repurposed to save them from destruction. The fifteenthcentury Kruisherenklooster and its church is a perfect example of this. Starting in 2000, the entire complex was transformed into a luxurious designer hotel while preserving its history. Likewise, the thirteenth-century former Dominican church and monastery has also begun a new life, reopening as a breathtaking bookshop after a comprehensive restoration. For more detailed information about all the churches and virtual tours of Maastricht’s two Basilicas, visit www.zichtopmaastricht.nl. maastricht’s treasures The core of the medieval transept basilica of St. Servatius 11 dates from around AD 1000 and was built above the grave of St. Servatius. Maastricht keeps its greatest relics in the basilica’s treasury: the chest reliquary, the goblet, and the bust of St. Servatius. The collection includes precious metals, ivory, silks, paintings, and statues. The treasure room of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, part of the 11th century transept basilica of the same name, is no less splendid and magnificent, containing various sacred objects of art and fine craftsmanship: richly embroidered copes and chasubles, relics, procession banners, and religious silver objects and statues. The Gothic St. John’s church is also part of the city’s rich religious heritage. Originally a Roman Catholic parish church, it was converted into a Protestant church in 1632. Its features include a very noteworthy pulpit, beautiful gravestones and wall paintings, and the historic Binvignat organ.

The quarter takes its name from what may be the city’s most famous (or n infamous) street. Today, Stokstraat is known as the place for the mostLaexclusive and luxury shops in the Netherlands, but it was not always so. If there’s any street that has seen its fortunes turn over the years, it’s this one. In the Middle Ages, its reputation was dubious thanks to its many bathhouse-brothels; later, the street enjoyed a renaissance with many reputable merchants established in it, until, as the Industrial Revolution took hold and the city centre became overpopulated with wave after wave of migrants from the countryside, the street became synonymous with grinding poverty. Living conditions here became so dire that there was even talk of demolishing the entire street. The Stokstraat quarter of today is the result of a dramatic redevelopment between 1950 and 1973, which succeeded in preserving its histosberg er character but transforming it into a fashionable address for living, shopping, and dining. ric ed Maa s a at Platielstr The collection of streets between the city centre and the Jeker quarter is known as the Stokstraat quarter. It’s that historic corner of the city between two statues, ‘De Mestreechter Geis’ and ‘Slevrouwe’.

The Sphinxkwartier is a quarter in the making, the outlines of which are now slowly becoming visible.

It was here that Petrus Regout built his ‘Sphinx Factory,’ the start of what grew into an enormous industry, producing bathroom fixtures, tiles, and the products that made Maastricht great. The fac- w lem Fo r t W i l tory operated until 2006, and since then efforts have been under way to redevelop Halve this area as a district that fits in with the city, but as something Maastricht does not already have. That’s why this district is being designed to attract creative types, young residents, national and international students, and expatriates. It will be internationally oriented, with room for flexible space and temporary functions. Where this area is going is becoming clearer and clearer, in things like the arrival of the pop music stage in a former sawmill, and the newly opened Brandweer(kantine), with workspaces and meeting places for creative entrepreneurs. But not everything in this part of the city is new and different. The historic and picturesque river harbour ‘t Bassin, adjacent to the Sphinx area, makes a perfect buffer for the transition from the more familiar and better known Maastricht to this new part of town. Boschstraat ‘This is where the cultural, creative, and enterprising Sphinxkwartier will arise.’ So reads the ambition behind the plans for the development of the Sphinx area.

B u rg Laa With the Sint Pietersberg hill, the historic caves, the vineyards, Fort Sint Pieter, and Château Neercanne as backdrop, this part of the city has everything you need to capture that holiday feeling. Sint Pieter was its own municipality until 1920. This part of the city was always outside the city walls (and so had it the toughest in times of war). Then, it was mainly farmers who lived here; now, it’s mostly families, epicureans, and a few descendants of the inhabitants of that old Sint Pieter. Today, Sint Pieter is Maastricht’s most popular residential district, not just for its beautiful houses but because of its ideal location between city and green. And it still feels like its own town, with its own social life, and charm, even though it’s just a stone’s throw away from the city park. In fact, it has the best of both worlds: village and city.

That’s when Maastricht will surprise you with just how surprising the city centre really is. The Vrijthof has a number of little streets leading into it from all directions. They include Brusselsestraat, Grote Gracht, and De Kommel. Unlike the more idyllic boulevards in most of the rest of the city, these streets evoke a feeling of the urban, the artistic, the unknown. Here, students and locals come and go: artists, designers, professionals. It’s an area that’s moving fast: new shops, start-ups, young businesses, surprising concepts. Yet at the same time, it’s bursting with historic buildings, and is still very much a place where locals want to live. In truth, you can’t really describe the streets around the Vrijthof in a few words. It’s where local, university, business, authentic, forward-looking, and surprising Maastricht all come together. ht el Ko n. ac Gr Kom m n m ma plein Brusselsestraat Kruisherengang laa St. Anna ro te Pa pe aa Bouillonst raat tr G ———————— raat ss ang d e n st et Bogaar ab at H ng puci j ne Ca t ra r ns oo jk ne st erstr.
