Touching Belgium on its west and just a few miles from Germany to the east, Maastricht is the capital of Holland’s southernmost region, Limburg. A town rich in history and culture, Maastricht boasts two wonderful town squares: Vrijthof, with Sint-Servaas Church, Sint-Jan's Cathedral and many bars, cafes and restaurants; and Markt, home to the town hall and, on Wednesday and Friday mornings, a fantastic vendor market. The city’s Vestigingswerken, or old town fortifications, are another big draw.

Our guide, Willy, was a great source of information on the one hour + tour of the fort and it’s underground tunnels. It was really interesting to learn about the fort and its role in Maastricht’s history over the years. Great views over the city and surroundings.

I did the Fort Sint Pieter tour with Simone (only two of us on that tour, very personalized!) and then the North Caves tour with Matt (who also took us to the Nazi vault. Both tours were great and the guides really deliver the history in a fun way. The thought that went into the development of the Fort was brilliant, making it practically impossible to invade. The caves were also a wonder with the intricate system, the many uses, and the massive volume of ground that was moved to create that system. Loved every second of these two tours!

In de Helpoort is het VestingMuseum Maastricht gevestigd. Zeker aan te bevelen om te bezoeken. Ook voor vesting-rondleidingen en rondleidingen in de kazematten.
Beautiful and very well preserved/restored medieval city gate, it dates back to the 13th century...a great photo spot

This "ancient" water wheel in Maastricht is still working away grinding grains daily for the bakery it flanks. Maastricht, in the old city, is such an awesome and well maintained area. Highly recommend a visit you will not be disappointed.

In the historical center of Maastricht you will find the Saint Servaas Bridge connecting the 2 sides of the city. This bridge has been around for several hundred years (built in the 13th century)- modernized and refurbished through the centuries. Today it has a built in section that can be tilted so the large ships navigating on the Maas can go past it. Don't worry there is a loud alarm when they open the bridge so you have time to move from the tilted section. It is a pedestrian area - where bicycles are also allowed but you don't really have to worry about the cars when you are on the bridge. On one side of the bridge you can also find a small souvenir shop - if you need some memorabilia.... I recommend you include the bridge in your tour of Maastricht.
