Little-Known Towns In Europe That Will Take Your Breath Away
3. Stunning Maastricht, Netherlands
Another phenomenal stop for those looking to make the most of lesser-known European towns would be Maastricht, located in the southeast of the Netherlands. Maastricht is the capital of the province of Limburg, home to a distinguished University, and straddles both sides of the Meuse river, called Maas in Dutch, where it joins the Jeker river. The culturally rich lifestyle and markets here are impeccable and combined with the dilapidated medieval architecture and cobbled walkways, sightseers are sure to enjoy their stay and lose themselves in the beauty of this prosperous town. Visitors to Maastricht often seek out a tour of the famous cave of Mount St. Peter, which foster fifty miles of tunnels excavated for centuries out of limestone (referred to as ‘mergel’ in Limburg). A tour of this magnificent but oft-forgotten European town is a fantastic means to see the true value the Netherlands have to offer.
