The Maastricht City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to try zoervleis and a proper slice of vlaai, which caves and forts to book before the weekend tours sell out, where the Belgian beer lists run longest and how to reach three countries in an hour without a car. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that tells you why a place is worth it, what to order or see and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Stadsbrouwerij Maastricht
Oeverwal 12, Wyck riverbank
The city’s own brewery, with its tanks on show behind glass and a terrace looking across the Maas to the old bridge. Order a tasting board of the house beers, then climb upstairs to the small brewing museum. From the food guide.
Mr. Smith
Rechtstraat 55, Wyck
No sign outside, just a bell: ring, wait and step into a dim room where the bartenders ask what you like and mix it for you, on the menu or not. The most carefully made cocktails in town. From the nightlife guide.
Valkenburg Castle Ruins
Daalhemerweg, Valkenburg, above the town
The only hilltop castle in the Netherlands, blown up by the Dutch themselves in 1672 and kept as a ruin. Walk the walls and the old escape tunnels and take in the widest view over the Heuvelland. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Maastricht scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. When you finish, the guides take over: Limburg cooking on Sint Pieterstraat, a beer on the Wyck riverbank, a lantern tour through the caves under the Sint-Pietersberg or a train to Valkenburg for the afternoon.
