Limburg

The hilly southernmost province of the Netherlands, with the charming old city of Maastricht and a Burgundian way of life.

Limburg lies in the southeastern Netherlands, a long, narrow strip squeezed between Belgium and Germany, with Maastricht as its capital. The southern hill country is a rarity in the Netherlands, and the country's highest point, Vaalserberg, is here, with good hiking and cycling around it. Maastricht's old town has historic remains dating back to Roman times and underground caves, while Valkenburg is known for its caves and castle ruins. Food culture is rich here, and carnival is lively. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit. You can arrive by rail or via Maastricht Aachen Airport.
