Maastricht, a university city on the southern tip of the Netherlands, is distinguished by its medieval-era architecture and vibrant cultural scene. Its cobbled old town is known for the Romanesque Basilica of St. Servatius, housing a significant collection of religious art, and the Gothic-style church Sint Janskerk. Along the banks of the Maas River, bisecting the city, lies the futuristic-looking Bonnefanten art museum.
