Discover student life in Maastricht
Small and big at the same time
Everything can be reached by bike in a city the size of Maastricht, which has a big name when it comes to science, innovation and culture.
A bit like Paris
But cozier. With a rich history, cobblestones on the streets and Roman architecture, but also with very modern districts and industrial areas.
The good life
No other Dutch city has so many bars, shops and restaurants per square kilometre.
In the heart of Europe
You can be in Amsterdam, Brussels or Paris in no time. Of course, Maastricht is also a good place to spend your free weekends.
A mix of cultures
More than 10% of the population are students from all over the world. You can often hear multiple languages spoken around you in the streets.
Birthplace of the European Union
It’s where the treaty which bears its name was signed 30 years ago - a milestone in EU history.
Enjoy 'Limburgse vlaai'
What would coffee be without this local delicacy?
Meet Bèr
Bèr is a mosasaur who featured in the film classic Jurassic Parc. He was discovered in Maastricht and just celebrated his 67 millionth birthday with his friend in the Natural History Museum.
Celebrate 'Carnaval'
Let yourself go, have fun and smile! Join the carnival celebrations in Maastricht - they are very special!
In the Dutch ‘mountains’
Need a break from your studies and all the enjoyments of the city? Go out and chill out in the green hills nearby.
