Love exploring more than the well-known hotspots? Then go for downtown Maastricht and wander the Vrijthof streets.
Looking for an artistic, slightly urban and still fairly undiscovered part of Maastricht? Then the Vrijthof streets are the place to be. Many people think they have seen Maastricht after getting to Vrijthof, visiting St Servatius Basilica and having a drink at one of its many cafés. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is much more to discover, including those Vrijthof streets, with Brusselsestraat, Kommel and Grote Gracht. The creative courses (think Jan Van Eyck Academy and Maastricht Academy for Fine Art and Design) and the innovative entrepreneurs operating here make this neighbourhood a creative one.
