A 4-day city trip to Maastricht and Limburg for your group: the Vrijthof and its basilicas, the Valkenburg caves, Thorn, the white town, the hills of the Heuvelland and Limburg vineyards.

Just across the Belgian border, Maastricht charms visitors with its lively squares, such as the Vrijthof, its Romanesque basilicas and its narrow streets along the Meuse. Dutch Limburg, with its rolling landscapes, is the only corner of the Netherlands with real hills: the Heuvelland. Your group discovers the caves dug into the marl at Valkenburg, the whitewashed houses of Thorn and the vineyards behind the recent reputation of Limburg wines.
