One of the main squares of Maastricht, with tons of restaurants and outdoor seating. Absolutely great for a sunny day, to stroll around, sit down for some coffee or drinks and watch life go by....

Loaded with history and surrounded by cafes. It is the center of Maastricht and where all the major events are held. Must visit when coming to the city. Good parking underneath. Cosy shopping streets around

No visit to Maastricht would be complete without a visit to Vrijthof. Two imposing churches, historic houses and many catering options, a must see.

When I visited Vrijthof, there was a food Preuvenemint which occupied the entire squaer. It is claimed to be the biggest food expo in Benelux but was very dissapointed as 90% of stalls only served alcohol and food was limited.

We were in Maastricht at the end of the season, yet the city centre was still very busy. The square has a number of historic buildings & is lined on one side with lots of cafes & restaurants. Drinks not too pricey considering the location....More

Huge square with 10,000 listening to the Concert. Great ambiance and fantastic to be here in the town where it all began. We had seats near the back but no worries. There were 2 big screens to watch as well.

A most memorable and historically meaningful experience to attend André Rieu's 100th concert in the Vrijthof! My wife and I have returned with the best possible experience!

On the one side impressive churches and beautiful historical buildings, on the other side cafes and restaurants with tourists and local people. I like the place.

Definitely book a ticket in the Square as the atmosphere is fantastic. You won’t regret it as you get to participate much more in the entire concert. There are 2 large screens which means you can still watch the concert... More
