Take some time out to explore the network of underground passageways beneath Maastricht. Take a look at the underground vault where a large part of the Netherlands’ art treasures were safeguarded during World War II. You can also view the city from the water or sitting in a horse-drawn coach. Or if you prefer walking, our professional guides will be happy to introduce you to “their” Maastricht on an interesting excursion while taking in some of the city’s highlights. You can also combine an excursion with a visit to the Kazematten, a network of underground passageways and bunkers used for defending the city against enemies, or with a walk up Sint Pietersberg hill, giving you a fantastic view of the city and its surroundings.

Guided walking tours are also offered with Spanish, Russian and Mandarin (Chinese) spoken guides.
