NL-3747411

Maastricht is a city in the southeast of the Netherlands. It's location excluded it from my plans when I visited Netherlands but I may consider it for a future visit. With its 1677 national heritage sites, which is the second highest number in a Dutch town, after Amsterdam, this city is definitely worth a visit.

Vrijthof, the largest and best-known square in Maastricht, with many well-known pubs, restaurants and also these structures on the card.
