Located in a thin sliver of land between Belgium and Germany, MAASTRICHT is one of the most delightful cities in the Netherlands. The first settlers here were Roman, leaving behind a rich history as well as the remains of the fortification walls that still partly surround the city. The Bonnefantenmuseum houses a good collection of Old Masters and contemporary art and is most noted for its Neutelings Collection of medieval religious sculpture.
In the old centre of Maastricht are shops and restaurants where one can enjoy fine wines from neighboring vineyards and savour the fine cuisine that the city is famous for.
