Attractions Nearby Maastricht
(Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands, NL)




Maastricht Attractions Nearby: Photo of the main railway station in AmsterdamAlthough there are plenty of attractions within the city of Maastricht, many visiting tourists choose to experience more of the Netherlands and head outside to neighbouring cities, towns and villages. Capital of Holland and home to many truly memorable attractions, Amsterdam can be reached in just over two hours and is located approximately 216 km / 134 miles to the north of Maastricht.

Also of interest are the attractions in Eindhoven, Rotterdam and The Hague (Den Haag), three very different Dutch cities, each with something quite unique to offer. A small town found just 14 km / 9 miles to the east of Maastricht, Valkenburg features an extremely over-commercialised centre, which caters well to the crowds of visiting tourists.
