Top-rated places to visit in Limburg Province, The Netherlands

4.5 Maastricht Underground (3.131 reviews)
- A must do in Maastricht.
Caverns & Caves

An amazing experience. We the did Guided Tour Fort Sint Pieter (English) and Guided Tour North Caves (English). Both tours were an hour each. Tom was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable & witty. The tours are just outside the city centre. I would recommend walking as the bus takes just as long or longer if your bus driver gets confused and drops you off in Belgium! See more..
4.5 Boekhandel Dominicanen (2.791 reviews)
- Charming bookstore in gothic century church
Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Scenic Walking Areas

Absolutely charming! The store is a sight to see and offers three stories of books and wonderment. There’s a modest English section on the second floor as well as a few old/antique books on the top floor. The books are priced quite high comparative to other shops but it’s worth it for the visit and a nice espresso in the accompanying cafe. See more..
4.0 Designer Outlet Roermond (2.388 reviews)
- Very crowded
Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Shopping Malls

The outlet was really great and although they charge you for parking I think the price is very appropriate. The outlet looks beautiful and the stores are great! When I visited it was absolutely crowded which caused some queues so I would suggest to visit early. Great staff nice contact especially on social media. See more..
4.5 Vrijthof (2.108 reviews)
- Totally Unique Experience
Points of Interest & Landmarks

After a 3 year delay we got to see 'Andre' in The Vrijithof. It's a unique experience with lots of new material and some old favourites. Despite cancellations new tickets were issued with delay.

4.5 Attractiepark Toverland (1.267 reviews)
- Always magical
Amusement & Theme Parks

Toverland confirms to be one of the most promising theme park in Europe, especially after the huge investments of 2018. The atmosphere is pure magic, the coaster lineup is solid (Troy and Fenix alone are worth the trip) and the side attractions, like Expedition Zork and Djengu River are very well themed and fun. Only one complaint, which is a constant in all my visits. They have this annoying habit to use one train in every coaster even with the park packed. Especially now, in coronavirus times, with trains not at full capacity they should seriously reconsider their policy. Honorable mention for the staff, always polite, nice and prepared. See more..
4.0 Drielandenpunt (1.169 reviews)
- Better than expected
Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Parks

We came here expecting to be about an hour or so but ended up staying 5 hours Parking was €2.50 ( but the machine didn't accept visa or Mastercard, only Maestro cards) . After that hurdle we did the obligatory pics in 3 countries at once and then moved onto the Maze ( Labyrint) . It was good fun with water obstacles and actually is hard to find the centre . The restaurant queue for burgers and fries was quite long but the food was reasonably priced and not bad for this kind of location. We then climbed the tower to see great views of the 3 countries . We even spotted a Skydeck tower through the trees and walked to that one too. There is a gift shop , play area and lots of bike and walking trails . It can be a quick stop but also a full day here depending on your interests , but either way its worth a visit. Staff were all helpful and friendly. See more..

4.0 Market Square (992 reviews)
- Beautiful square great for people watching
Points of Interest & Landmarks

A lovely square in centre of Maastricht. The town hall is imposing and we loved the melodic bells chiming on the hour. It has lots of little bars and cafes and is lovely to sit in and watch the world go by. Seats can be in the sun or the shade and drink prices reasonable. €5 for a glass of wine. Mr H and I found it had a lovely friendly atmosphere and service at the bars was quick with lots of choice. See more..
4.5 Onze Lieve Vrouw Sterre der Zee Basiliek (961 reviews)
- Beautiful church with unique feel - a must see!
Churches & Cathedrals

This majestic church had a much different vibe than many of the other amazing churches I’ve visited. Absolutely stunning interior with many painted wood sculptures. The dim lighting gave it a more calm, yet serious feel to it. I would highly recommend visiting and lighting a candle or sitting in the pews and taking in the full experience. I loved the visit!

4.0 Cauberg Cavern - Gemeentegrot (679 reviews)
- Impressive cave!
Caverns & Caves

We can really recommend a visit to this cave. We did the guided tour on foot, so you had enough time to photograph the interesting parts of the cave. Our guide took extra time for the tour and was able to give a lot of background knowledge as he had grown up very close by. However, all explanations were given only in Dutch. See more..
4.0 Saint Servaasbridge (647 reviews)
- Beautiful stone bridge

4.5 Fort Sint Pieter (615 reviews)
- An Amazing Experience By The Best Tour Guide I’ve Experienced
Historic Sites

I dislike guided tours in general but I was blown away by this one. What a pleasure it was to listen and observe our tour guide Ernest. He was passionate and electric, knowing and curious. Everything you look for in a tour guide! He was able to paint us a visual picture in a really approachable way. Not a single second of the tour was boring. I truly wish all tour guides were like Ernest! If I could, I would like him to join us in our tour around Netherlands just because of how vibrant he was and how it transformed everything we had the luxury of hearing. See more..

Wednesday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks

A water mill, very much alive and "kicking". A must see in Maastricht which takes you back in time. Not very much impressed with the over hyped attached bakery and their tarts. I found them rather "run of the mill"!!! See more..

- Arround the worl in a garden

The Mythical forrest, with its copies of the Garden of monsters in Bomarzo (commisioned by Prince Orsini), with the Giant of the Apennines, the Ogre (the scream that turned into stone)...

5.0 Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial (490 reviews)
- Very impressive (all the time)
Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Cemeteries

Although closed due to COVID19, you can walk by from a backroad called the Hoogsteeg. As we were staying in a cottage just around the corner, I walked by during a short walk in the neighbourhood. It still is very impressive to see, every time I see it. We must never forget the sacrifice these men gave for our freedom. Something I still don’t understand, is why there is a gate on the Rijksweg while there is a hedge just over half a metre high on the backroad. It would never come into my mind to jump the fence, nor am I suggesting people should do! But from a security perspective I just don’t get it. See more..
3.5 Thermaalbad Arcen (375 reviews)

4.5 Hertog Jan Brouwerij (271 reviews)
- Hertog Jan's brewery has the same prestige as their famous Grand Prestige
Breweries

Nice brewery in the south of the Netherlands. Specialized in their range of crafters of which the Grand Prestige is exquisite and world renowned. The brewery gives nice insight in the process of brewing and assembling as well as the raved oak aged versions annually sold out within minutes. These small batches are layered on oak used previously for wines, cognacs, whiskeys, etc. The fuse of tastes is absolutely phenomenal. Visiting the section where the beer ages on barrels adds to the experience of visiting the cellar where Grand Prestiges of all years are aging. Places and bottles can be reserved and once aged 5-6 years can be collected at the brewery. The experience is great and very personal, as are the tours at the brewery. See more..
4.0 City Hall of Maastricht (259 reviews)
- Nice

It's not a 'wow!' But it's a 'heh, cool!' Kind of looked at it but the more impressive part is the square it is located, the place is full of cafes, pubs, restaurants and little shops.

4.0 Sint Janskerk (247 reviews)
- Great Climbing Tower; Church in need of Refurbishment
Historic Sites • Observation Decks & Towers • Religious Sites

The inside of the church is like many other churches and has many historic graves on the floor. As you look around you do see that the church is seeking funding to refurbish the ceiling and parts that showing the age of the church. For a few Euros, you can climb to the top of the red tower and get a great view of the valley and city. Th climb is about 200 steps so plan on the long climb. There is a history room about 1/3 the way up the stairs and a great place to rest. IT is tight squeeze to get by the people coming up and going down...do not bring a backpack on the stairs. The church is a very nice place and lots of history of the Reformation. See more..

3.0 Mosaqua (167 reviews)
- Great pool, at times way too busy
Wednesday: 2:00 PM - 9:30 PM Amusement & Theme Parks

This is a pretty and spectacular pool perfectly geared for kids and teenagers. We parents get to relax on the outside lawn, as this is not something you would want to participate on more than once. It can get overcrowded real easy on hot summerdays and it made me wonder how many people you can actually fit in here. On the bright side: There is lots of attentive staff on hand, so it still feels save. I would recommend it for intermediate summer days. See more..
5.0 Klimbos Weert (159 reviews)
- thrill-seeker versus fear-of-heights
Wednesday: 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks • Climbing Tours

I have a fear of Heights. That being said, I made the booking for me and my boyfriend (but mostly for him). He loves climing and is a thrill-seeker. So this is a review mostly based on his experience as mine is biased. There are 4 different difficulties and before starting there is a short explanation and a test-climb. I noticed my boyfriend and I were the only adults who actually participated. Most of the trails were fit for adults and children, however we could imagine them being a bit easier for kids (certain tubes you need to climb through, or because they have a lower point of balance). The entire experience was too thrilling for me, even though I knew I was well secured and completely safe, my fear of heights was just too severe. However for the more thrill-seeking-folk I can highly suggest 'Klimbos Weert'. See more..

- Great classical style natural history museum - but NOT suitable for tourists!
Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Natural History Museums

Great museum, small, old, with beautiful displays but NO English text ONLY Dutch - so if you are from any country other than the Netherlands you will not know and understand any of the exhibits - very disappointing. See more..

4.0 Statue of D'Artagnan (136 reviews)
- Lovely walk
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues

We combined our pilgrimage to the death place of D’Artagnan with a walk from Helport along the outside of the city walk, we could have done this is 10-15 mins but we took about 40 minutes as there was so much to see, fantastic trees & carvings decorate the area. The university buildings were interesting from the outside. The statue was worth the wait. ‘All for one, One for All.’ See more..

3.5 Wellnessresort Sittard (128 reviews)
- Nice
Spent More than 3 hours Spas

Nice hotel, with spa, bowling, gym, climbing wall and restaurant... if you want to stay and enjoy the spa, ask to stay in the 5th floor, so that you can have easy access to the spa and you don't get cold in winter when you have to cross the bridge. The only negative point was that we had to wait 40 min for 2 sandwiches in the spa restaurant, we don't know why... See more..
