Maastricht, Congress Site
Situated close to the borders of Belgium and Germany, the Roman city of Maastricht has a cosmopolitan atmosphere. It is the capital of the province 'Limburg' in the southernmost part of the Netherlands. To visit Maastricht is like traveling through time. Walk on Roman cobble stones from 150 BC and visit the halls where the Maastricht Treaty was signed in 1992. Enjoy Maastricht's skyline of church's spires and towers and its tree lined squares. But also be sure not to miss 'In den Ouden Vogelstruys', the Netherlands' oldest pub. We guarantee that Maastricht and its people will delight and charm you.
