Maastricht, especially at Christmas, is such a beautiful city! We had a full day to wander and explore. We were staying close to city hall so that was the first stop
Then wandered to the water
And across Sint Servaasbrug
And back downtown
Kapel Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe
Saint Jan's Church
There is a small part of the old city wall you can walk on
A small deer park
Bear bench in Aldenhof park
We had a sits here and looked up this bench and why a bear with a human hand was here...and it was kind of sad. There is a bear pit nearby where three generations of bears were kept, the last was removed to a zoo in 1993
Now the old bear pit has this super sad display! And it is a monument for extinct animals.
They are all in there looking at you
This was so sad!
But nearby was this fun merry go round
Where you could spin around and relax at the same time
Back to the small deer park
And a fun bird enclosure
A walk along the Jeker
Father Vinck Tower
Crossing the river on the Hoge Brug
Recen Tower on the other side
Wandering the other side of the river
Saint Martinuskerk
This was originally part of a pillar on the Wilhelmina Bridge
A quick wander at night to see the lights
This was such a pretty town and so fun to wander around! So many small, windy streets to spy on, the water, the parks, it was great. I would highly recommend Maastricht and would definitely come back, especially at Christmas time!
