The Story of Maastricht
Did you know the first human presence in the country from over 250,000 has been found in Maastricht? That the city is arguably the oldest continually inhabited in the Netherlands. That a German Emperor was married in the Sint Servaas even before the city of Amsterdam was founded. Or that Maastricht was the first Industrial City in the country.
