27 April 2022 Put in my calendar

Kings Day

On April 27, King Willem-Alexander will visit Maastricht with his family. The program is known. Such a beautiful celebration naturally requires a lot of preparation, also around the route. We expect a lot of activity in the city on Kings Day, with many residents and visitors enjoying the royal visit. Residents, businesses and visitors must take into account reduced accessibility. 

Royal route

The program starts around 11:00 am on the Saint Servatius Bridge and ends around 1:00 pm on the Vrijthof.
