Advantages: Beautiful city, everything at walking distance Disadvantages: maybe the weather??
, during a siege, the enemy was regularly given a boiling water or molten metal bath. When it's raining you can visit the Bonnefanten Museum where you can learn more about local history.
Hungry????
No problem. There are plenty of good restaurants. From the simple French fries from the snack bar to the exquisite French cuisine at Beluga or ToineHermsen both awarded with a Michelin star. And of course plenty of choice in between. Average price for a three course menu is 17 GBP. "De Roeie Knien" will serve you very tasty local food for even less than that. And an extremely good couscous can be found at Hassans restaurant "Djerba" next to the marketplace. A very small, simple restaurant but really a heavenly great couscous for a small price.
Thirsty????
Even less of a problem since there are even more bars than restaurants in the city. Try ...

The old town is about one kilometre square, and is a maze of narrow pedestrianised streets there's a bunch of old ...
Advantages: Interesting, cheap and close to Maastricht Disadvantages: Cold and dark with uneven, sandy ground floors
The St. Pietersberg Caves are just on the edge of Maastricht and near the boarder of Netherlands and Belgium in the southern Province of Netherlands called Limburg. Maastricht is the capitol city of Limburg.
The caves date from Roman Times, before Christ, but were used and lived in as recently as WWII as an escape from Hitler's occupying forces.
There are 2-hour tours inside the caves, which are cold enough for the guides to offer 'loan' jackets for sightseers to borrow while inside the caves and also tours conducted in English are available. What you see is incredible drawings and artwork (drawings and paintings) and intricate sculpture from the soft pale yellow sandstone, of which the caves are made. The guides, carrying gas lanterns and flashlights, will give you detailed information about the history of the caves ...
