Maastricht's Absolute Must-Sees

Maastricht’s history spans from Roman foundations to its role as a medieval religious center. This selection features the 13th-century Hell’s Gate, the Netherlands' oldest city gate, and the Romanesque Basilica of Our Lady. Architectural highlights include the red-towered Gothic Sint Janskerk and the Maasland Renaissance provincial house. Visitors can explore the 7,000 underground tunnels of St. Pietersberg, the still-functioning Bishop's Mill, and the arched stone Sint Servaasbrug, which dates back to the 13th century.
