General information
Maastricht
Maastricht’s vibrant history and its location at a crossroads of European
cultures, languages and trade routes lend it a unique charm and international
flavor. Dutch visitors to this most ancient, most European and most southerly
city of the Netherlands find Maastricht so ‘un-Dutch’ that they
feel as if they are abroad, while foreign visitors tend to feel perfectly
at home in its international atmosphere.
The saying that “Many Roads lead to Maastricht” is reflected
in the fact that it is one of the top three conference cities in the country.
Nestled between the borders of Belgium and Germany, Maastricht is an undoubted
beneficiary of the European integration process. The Euregion surrounding Maastricht
lies in the centre of north-western Europe and is an area of great scientific,
technological and industrial potential with a modern infrastructure, an internationally
oriented multilingual population, a high standard of living and many cultural
and recreational facilities.
