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??
, the main square in the city. There are shops all along the way. Many old buildings still remain. Around the Vrijthof you will find a maze of cute small streets with shops, restaurants and bars. Under the church next to the Vrijthof you can visit the tomb of Saint Servaas, who was bishop of Maastricht and died in the year 384. The treasure chamber is right next to it and worth a visit. Do not forget to go and see the Onze Lieve Vrouweplein, a beautiful square where you can peacefully take a drink or a good meal in one of the many bars and restaurants, right next to the shopping area.

Walk past the Hellgate, an impressive part of the old city wall around Maastricht, which can be found next to the Maas River. It is named Hellgate because here ...
Advantages: EXCELLENT FRESH PRODUCE COOKED VERY WELL Disadvantages: NONE
When in Tavira you fancy a very enjoyable meal out then visit the O PATIO RESTAURANT.
LOCATION:-
Find the OLD ROMAN BRIDGE, not difficult, then with your back to the Open Air Theatre cross the bridge, on the opposite side just continue straight down the little street facing you, about 50 yards on the right hand side is O PATIO RESTAURANT.
You enter by the door and prceed up the Staircase. You will pass a chilled display of the Fresh Caught Today fish on offer.
In the restaurant is another chilled display of the Meat on offer.
There is a small bar and then tables in Three Areas (rooms). There is also a Open Air Patio that must be delightful in the Summer. Pity we only seem to visit Tavira in the Winter, although it is still warm.
What I Like is the Tables are Large, which is a big plus when the Food and Drinks come ...
