The church can be visited daily in the summer (Easter until the end of the autumn holidays), except on Sundays, when church services take place. In the summer you can also climb the almost 80 meter high tower (the highest in Maastricht). The main entrance of the church is located at Henric van Veldekeplein.

Hiking

Two churches, less than a stone's throw from each other, are located on this central square in the city of Maastricht. Next to the magnificent Romanesque Basilica of St. Servatius is the younger church (dating from the 13th century) dedicated to St. John. Originally built as a Catholic parish church, it now serves as a spiritual home for the city's Protestant citizens. The tall church tower can be climbed and—weather permitting—offers a magnificent view.
