This wonderful city, situated just a few miles from Germany and neighboured, on the west side, by Belgium, is a real mix of old and new with a diverse mish mash of ancient and modern architecture that actually seems to fit together quite comfortably. If you are planning a trip to Maastricht then a serviced apartment or holiday rental in this area would make a sound investment as well as giving you the ideal base from where to see all that this amazing city has to offer.

This fortified city, surrounded by stone walls, forts and dried up moats is divided into two sections, the Old Town and the newer, more developed region. If you take a walk over Bridge Maastricht, the pedestrian footbridge, you will see the contrast between the new architecture of this modern bridge and the ancient structures as the bridge takes you directly into Old Town centre. Once you reach Old Town it’s almost as though time has stood still. Cobbled streets, old dwellings and beautiful churches make it feel like you have just walked into a fairytale.

From your Maastricht serviced residence or aparthotel you also have easy access to St. Pietersberg Caves. The result of years of mining for marlstone, these caves are quite an impressive sight. Set in St. Pietersberg Hill, which is also an ideal location for wonderful walks, these caves have served numerous purposes in their lifetime, including hideouts for the Maastricht residents during raids on the city.
It has been estimated that there around 20,000 tunnels, maybe even more, in this area and this criss cross of passageways are quite fascinating as, the miners who extracted the marlstone, have left inscriptions and art work all over the walls as well as exposing many fossils whilst excavating the stone.

A Maastricht holiday apartment or rental also provides convenient access to the River Maas where you can enjoy a gentle cruise up the river and admire Maastricht and it's surrounding areas from the water. Quite a spectacular sight. It is here that you get a true sense of some of the stunning architecture with the many turrets and spires rising up from the city like elegant, man-made stalagmites.

For a wonderful dining experience, within walking distance of your Maastricht apartment rental, Chateau Neercanne is most definitely the place to go. This lovely restaurant, situated in a castle, boasts the most breathtaking scenery and peaceful location. The sumptuous décor, delicious French cuisine and excellent service combine to make this an unforgettable evening in Maastricht.
