The capital is Maastricht, a beautiful medieval city with a Burgundian atmosphere. Other cities are Venlo, Heerlen, Roermond, Sittard & Valkenburg.
Maastricht
The most southern and sunniest city is a splendid fortified city of Roman origin set on the river Maas. The beautiful, unspoiled hillsides that surround Maastricht are home to famous vineyards and provide the opportunity for many relaxing and picturesque outings. Maastricht has an abundancy of ramparts, caves, tunnels, grottos, museums and basilicas that will provide many opportunities for fascinating excursions.
