Must See Netherlands - Maastricht

One of the Netherland's oldest towns, Maastricht has a lively international feel. Its history stretches back to 50 BC, when the Romans set up camp there. Fortification walls still partly surround the city, and you can explore a labyrinth of tunnels on the city's western outskirts.

Today this lively city has a reputation even in its own country of being a little foreign. You can sample the distinct tastes of neighbouring cuisines and in February you can party with the rest of the revellers in the Netherlands' largest carnival festival.
