Do you enjoy exploring beyond the well-known hotspots? Then head to Maastricht city centre and take a stroll through the streets of the Vrijthof.
Are you looking for an artistic, slightly urban and still relatively undiscovered part of Maastricht? Then you should head to the streets around the Vrijthof. Many people think they’ve seen all of Maastricht once they’ve reached the Vrijthof, visited St Servatius Basilica and had a drink at one of the many cafés. Nothing could be further from the truth. There’s much more to discover, including those Vrijthof streets: Brusselsestraat, the Kommel and Grote Gracht. The creative courses (such as those at the Jan Van Eyck Academy and the Maastricht Academy for Fine Art and Design) and the innovative entrepreneurs active here make this a creative neighbourhood.
