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: Fantastic design of the hotel, great location, great price, friendly staff, very clean hotel Disadvantages: No minibar or tea/coffee making facilities, 'open-space' bathroom, TV loosing signal
Hotel Praktik Rambla - a very stylish hotel in the centre of Barcelona
Please DO NOT CONFUSE with Hotel Praktik on Calle Diputacio (also in Barcelona centre) which is a combination of hostel/hotel with less comfort than this place (although both are located close to each other and belong to the same group of hotels/owner)
Location
The central location of the hotel is great for shopping trips, sightseeing, dining, nightlife and very close to transport links outside of the city. The hotel is located on Rambla de Catalunya, which is the famous promenade in Barcelona with souvenir shops, bars and restaurants, and leads to the port and the pier. It is also next to Pasage de Gracia (Paseig de Gracia in Catalan), which is famous for ?posh? shops located there and tourist attractions such as Casa Battlo and La Pedrera ...
