Maastricht Hostels

Though Maastricht is quite a small town (its population is 122.000 of people and its square is about 60 square meters), it has the atmosphere of an international capital: there one can hear Dutch, French, and German along with the dialects of the natives. This town has rich culture, history, architecture and traditions.

Every year Maastricht is visited by more than 2.6 million of tourists. Both the citizen of Maastricht and the Dutch describe Maastricht as a typical Burundian city, because its very warm and shiny climate. But what makes it so attractive? Why thousands of tourists come there to do some shopping, to have a walk, to go out or just to sit in the open-air? Not only the Dutch, but also the neighbors (the Belgian and the German) are fond of the unique atmosphere of the city. Maybe it's because of the Maas River, the ancient history and the historical center with more than 1500 monuments? Or maybe the reason are the squares, 400 cafes, fabulous restaurants and boutiques? Or maybe (and it seems to be the right answer) it's due to the combination of all these factors?
