History

Many centuries ago, the Romans crossed the river Meuse here and many European cultures and trade have come together in Maastricht & surrounding area ever since. Today, you can still feel, taste and experience this multi-cultural touch everywhere.

The streets are full of reminders that Maastricht once served as a Roman post, a city of pilgrimage, a medieval fortified, military city to a handcrafts centre where the Dutch Industrial Revelotion began.  The city it is today has a lot of remains proving and showing these developments.
