Province - Limburg, Netherlands

The province of Limburg - The balcony Holland

Limburg is the southernmost province of the Netherlands and a popular tourist destination due to its mild, sunny climate, the diversified, mountainous landscape and the numerous lakes and waterways. The cordial hospitality of the people in the holiday flats and hotels of the region around Limburg turn any holiday in the Netherlands into an unforgettable experience.

Maastricht is the capital of the region of Limburg. Tourists will enter the town through Holland’s oldest city gate, the so-called “hell’s door”, which was built in 1230. Where the Roman fort once defied its enemies, today the promenade "Stokstraatquartier” invites tourists to go shopping or have a rest.

Cyclists and motorists will enjoy the Mergelland route, which leads them to the most beautiful places of southern Holland via a 110 kilometres long circuit.

The border triangle connects the Netherlands with Germany and Belgium. There you will also find the highest elevation of the Netherlands, the Vaalser Mountain with an altitude of 323 metres. Those having climbed the wooden stairs of the Wilhelmina tower will enjoy a wonderful panoramic view.

You should also take your skis if you spend your holidays in a holiday home, a holiday flat, a guesthouse or hotel in the region of Limburg since you can go skiing there throughout the whole year. In Landgraaf, there is the world’s largest roofed skiing hall, “Snow World”. Fresh snow on the slopes and a constant temperature of -6 degrees guarantee a lot of fun in the middle of Holland.
