Maastricht is the perfect meeting place. Maastricht is known for its lively squares, narrow streets, and historical buildings. The city has over 1670 national heritage sites, more than any Dutch city outside Amsterdam. The tourist information office is located in the Dinghuis, a medieval building overlooking Grote Staat.
The international orientation of Maastricht dates back to when the Romans built a bridge over the River Meuse. Ever since that early beginning, Maastricht has continuously connected different cultures and languages.
The city has a flourishing culinary culture and it is said to have the widest choice of shops in the Netherlands. The city has good hotel accommodation and transport links.
MECC Maastricht is easily accessible for disabled visitors and people in wheelchairs. The aisles in the complex are spacious and all have even surfaces. There are lifts and accessible toilets in the building. Any questions regarding accessibility, please email Max.Hollick@khl.com
