Maastricht
4 things to see
Maastricht is the most un-Dutch city in the Netherlands, with a hilly landscape, Burgundian food culture, and a beautiful bookshop inside a medieval church that is free to browse. Wandering the old riverside center and crossing the medieval Sint Servaasbrug costs nothing. Sitting near the border, it makes an easy cheap day trip to Liege or Aachen by regional train.
