There are some cities which
are ideal for a one day visit. When you have left the city in the evening
after a long day of walking and sightseeing, you wouldn't comment 'I want
to see more'. Maastricht belongs surely to the group of cities which offer
enough for those who like short trips. Although Maastricht belongs to the
Netherlands, the city has more connections to Belgium, Germany (Rhineland),
Luxemburg and partly the north east of France. Maastricht is literally
situated between these countries. So, you might be able to visit the city
not only when you are in Amsterdam, but also from Brussels, Cologne or
Luxemburg. But the city's relation to these areas is not only geographically.
Also culturally it is a mix of different styles and tastes. In this sense
it is one of the cities in the Netherlands which has not the typical Dutch
flower on it.
 From
architecture to food, the French- Belgium influences are very clear. While
wandering through the city, one can perfectly enjoy the mixture of cultural
differences that are melted in the old city center along the river Maas.
By exploring Maastricht you even don't need a guide. Just use your instincts
and you will see until the end of the day you will have discovered the
landmarks by yourself. A visit during the month of December will have an
additional value as Maastricht offers many activities during the Christmas
season.
Maastricht also has an interesting
historical heritage. It is known as one of the earliest area of Celtic
settlements. The city was build by the soldiers of the Roman Emperor Julius
Caesar. During the middle ages it was one of the main posts of the Franks
and Christian activities. After the middle ages it was regularly handed
over between the French and the Dutch kingdoms and republics. The long
history has left its traces. Those who like to be discover the past also
don't need more than a day to dive in.
Speaking about the past we
should not forget Europe, for which Maastricht also plays an important
role. The famous 'Maastricht Treaty' which introduced the Euro was signed
here in 1992. Expectations from the city were high. As a perfect ambassador
of Europe it had to benefit more of the Union. The city couldn't benefit
from its crossroad situation. Maybe because of the decline of economic
potential of its German neighbors.
Whatever, Maastricht offers
what we might call the north-west European culture and has enough to be
the cultural and political center of this area in the coming decades. Unfortunately,
its destiny is related to that of Europe, more than any of another city
in the Netherlands.

connections. The US, Asia and Europe are particularly well served at Schiphol.
