Advantages: Small, friendly, very pretty Disadvantages: Not easiest desination to get to from the UK
Most people in the UK have only heard of Maastricht in connection with the EC treaty, they couldn't tell you what it's about, nor could they tell you even which country it's in!
The city is tucked in the bottom left hand corner of the Netherlands, and surrounded on three sides by Belgium and Germany. It's also very close to France and Luxembourg is only a short car journey away.
Don't make the mistake of thinking it's in Holland - that's in the north of the Netherlands, it's the capital of Limburg provence.
I attended a business conference in the beginning of March 2003, and quite by accident managed to land in town at exactly the same time as 'carnival' - which they take very seriously - more about this later.
The old town is about one kilometre square, and is a maze of narrow pedestrianised streets there's a bunch of old ...
Advantages: Beautiful city, everything at walking distance Disadvantages: maybe the weather??
If you want to know something about Maastricht, why not ask somebody who lives there.
Where is it????
Well, almost lives there. I live in Berg en Terblijt, 3 miles away from the suburbs of Maastricht. This is definitely not Holland. Holland is flat with lots of canals. Maastricht lies in the province of Limburg, a hilly landscape in the lower right hand corner of the Netherlands. Belgium is right next to Maastricht, Germany is a 15 minutes drive away. Even the city of Luxemburg is closer than Amsterdam.
If you want to get here you can fly directly from London almost everyday to Maastricht-Aachen Airport. Aachen is a German city 20 miles from Maastricht. You can also take the ferry to Antwerpen or Oostende in Belgium, or to Hoek van Holland (from Harwich), and drive to Maastricht in about one and a half hour. Third possibility is to ...
Advantages: Authentic Coffee, Clean, tidy premises, 1st class ambience and atmosphere Disadvantages: Food range is not so great value.
Caffe Nero is a leading Coffee store Retail Outlet located in many high street, town center, and Airport Lounge venues across England, wales and Scotland.
The company sells, Coffee as its main product. Also they stock Tea, cold refreshments, panini sandwiches, cookies, crisps, Chocolates, cakes, and sweets.
What I find that makes cafe nero different to other coffee Retail Outlet's is almost a combination of excellent Coffee, and a high standard of Customer Service.
The Music in the background of the store is subtle and light. This allows people to read a newspaper, to socialise with friends, family, or to enjoy a relaxing cup of Coffee in relative peace and quiet. The atmosphere is what makes caffe nero a pleasant and welcoming place to visit.
The staff seem to be team organised. I have seen Table's been cleared ...

Manufacturer's product description
Although the name may give the impression of a distinguished, `chic' establishment, Café Sjiek is an easy-going café-pub, where you can enjoy `sjiek' dishes and `sjiek' wines ... `sjiek' (pronounced `chic') being Maastricht dialect for `great.' The menu consists mainly of traditional Limburg dishes, `the way grandmother used to make them,' and French regional dishes. Next door to the café is the `Sjieke Winkel' (`Chic' Shop), with a variety of `culinary goodies': home-made delicacies and titbits from the kitchens of Café Sjiek, fine wines and olive oil from the barrel; in short, everything connected with delicious food.
