Tourism is important for the Limburg economy. Each year, millions of Dutch people and foreigners spend part of their free time in Limburg. About fourteen percent of the Limburg working population is engaged in some way in the leisure sector.

The Maastricht Region has a great deal to offer,  from splendid walks through the Heuvelland region or taking in historic urban locations to enjoying meals in a typical Limburg café or well-known Michelin-starred restaurant. From taking part in sports with others to a gentle sailing trip on the River Meuse.

Gastronomy

The Maastricht Region is renowned for its fine gastronomic tradition. The region has a splendid range of restaurants, many of which have a Michelin star. Each year, in the last week of August, the Preuvenemint culinary fair is held on Vrijthof square in Maastricht. Moreover, Maastricht has the greatest concentration of cafés in the Netherlands.

Overnight stays

There are many ways of staying the night in the Maastricht Region. These range from intimate B&Bs to design hotels, from modern facilities to the style of bygone days in a monastery or chateaux. The characteristic southern charm can be perfectly combined with a business event. Everything can be arranged in line with your wishes and possibilities, from a one-day stay to a stay of several days with all amenities provided.

MECC

The Maastricht Exhibition & Congress Centre (MECC Maastricht) is a modern dynamic organisation involved in organising and accommodating fairs, conferences and large-scale cultural and sports events. The greatest advantage of MECC Maastricht is its multifunctionality. Conferences, exhibitions, accommodation and catering facilities are all there, under one roof. Whether it’s a conference, a product presentation, a trade fair, a corporate party or a combination of all four: the flexible and multifunctional character of MECC Maastricht ensures a tailor-made solution. There are two critical factors in organising a successful event: the quality of the facilities and the quality of the surroundings. In Maastricht, these two are combined perfectly. MECC Maastricht is one of the most modern and dynamic conference centres in Europe. Maastricht is an attractive town with an international focus and an air of joie de vivre. This makes MECC Maastricht an ideal meeting point in the Euroregion.
