Maastricht combines Limburg charm with French flair. Along the banks of the Maas, one can enjoy Michelin-starred cuisine or meet up in one of the cozy Eetcafés. Small boutiques and quirky shops make the city a popular shopping destination. The vibrant nightlife is largely fueled by the university students. The Sphinxkwartier offers an exciting district for creatives, while cultural highlights such as the Basilica of St. Servatius and the Museum aan het Vrijthof attract visitors to the Vrijthof.
