Culture & Leisure
The Maastricht Region is different from other parts of the Netherlands. Flemish, French and German are commonly heard due to the proximity of neighbouring countries Germany and Belgium and tourists are quick to feel at home. The reason for this is the vast multitude of events, extensive cultural offerings and a variety of restaurants and cuisine.
