Maastricht
Netherlands Pictures

The 13th century Saint Servatius (Sint Servaasbrug) bridge in the oldest city in the Netherlands. Next Arnhem and Groningen photos.

Maastricht is about two hours from Amsterdam and offers plenty of Roman and Gothic structures though it can hardly be described as a tourist must-see as it appears to be more allied to Germany and Belgium than to the Netherlands and aims to be an EU political conference centre rather than a Dutch tourist trip.

No other Dutch town has as many bars per sq metre as Maastricht. Try popular markets if you don't mind crowds on Wednesdays and Fridays and its annual carnival is also worth a visit.
