    Hiking

    You will not have missed the fact that Maastricht is located in Dutch Limburg, practically on the border with Belgian Limburg. In other words: Maastricht is anything but - literally - the heart of the Netherlands. The dialect of Maastricht will not get you very far in the Netherlands either.

    So what is Maastricht? You can look at it historically and, for example, talk about the connection with Liège and a place in Limburg. But you can also look at it from an overarching perspective. And that is what Maastricht does.
    Translated by
    A theater college, an art college and a conservatory contribute to making Maastricht a cultural center of national importance. The philharmonie zuidnederland (previously Limburg's symphony orkest) is the classic orchestra of the provinces of Limburg, Noord-Brabant and Zeeland with headquarters in Maastricht and Eindhoven. Opera Zuid is a small opera company headquartered in Maastricht. There is also a professional theater group: Toneelgroep Maastricht. The city has several theaters such as the Theater aan het Vrijthof (concert and playhouse) and the Derlon Theater (Toneelgroep Maastricht). There are also three cinemas in Maastricht, the Lumière, the Pathé and the Euroscoop.

    A big star in the middle of Plein 1992 in Maastricht. With the text "Maastricht Meet Europe." On Friday, she was placed there in the presence of alderman Vivianne Heijnen and MEPs Sven Schulze and Jeroen Lenaers.
    The latter two were visiting the Maastricht International Center. This has a combined counter for the Holland Expat Center and the Grensinfopunt. There, (highly qualified) newcomers and border workers are helped with all kinds of facilities. The counter is in Center Ceramique, the library of Maastricht.
