New Years Day

The fastest ways to Maastricht on New Years day

Many of us do our Christmas shopping online and do our shopping locally. We also need to help prevent crowds forming. Do you really need to visit Maastricht, then please make sure you make your visit a safe one! We recommend you visit on quieter weekdays and don't leave your Christmas shopping until the last minute.

Opening hours during the festive season*

  • Christmas Eve, Friday 24 December 2021, shops open until 5:00 PM*
  • Christmas Day, Saturday 25 December 2021, shops closed
  • Boxing Day, Sunday 26 December 2021, shops closed
  • New Year's Eve, Friday 31 December 2021, shops open until 5:00 PM*
  • New Year's Day, Saturday 1 January 2021, shops closed

*There are a few exceptions to the Sunday opening hours, including public holidays, events, and the current coronavirus measures.

Maastricht is ready to welcome you with open arms, while remaining mindful and staying safe. The wearing of face masks is mandatory in supermarkets and shops. Many places now have reduced opening hours. Essential shops and drugstores are open until 8:00 PM. Non-essential shops, such as clothing shops and cafés and restaurants, can stay open until 5:00 PM. During the week, the city’s streets are nice and quiet, and the Sphinxkwartier, Jekerkwartier, and Wyck neighbourhoods tend to be less crowded. 
You can still shop locally in Maastricht online; most shops have an online store where you can easily order anything on offer.

By bicycle

Park your bicycle in the sheltered parking facilities on Markt, Kesselskade, or in the underground facility at the main railway station. If there is an event in the city, you can often park your bicycle at a temporary event parking facility. We select a suitable location for each of these parking facilities and show their location on our website. 

By bus

The bus will take you quickly and easily to Maastricht city centre from various districts within the city, the Heuvelland region, surrounding Belgian cities and villages, and from Aachen. Plan your journey via Arriva's website or on www.9292ov.nl. Pay for your trip with your public transport pass (OV-chipkaart), buy a ticket online ahead of your trip, or pay in the bus. 

By train 

The city centre of Maastricht is easy to reach with the Arriva and NS trains, the Arriva train from Aachen, and the international connections from Belgium. Public transport ensures you can comfortably travel to Maastricht, arrive in the middle of the city centre, and avoid any trouble parking your car.

By car

If you decide to travel to the Maastricht city centre by car, be sure to have a look at our Smart Map before you leave. The Smart Map will show you where traffic is busy and where you can find parking. To make things easier for you, we've got a few parking tips:

  • We recommend parking on the side of the Meuse river that you are coming from, to avoid traffic congestion on the bridges over the Meuse.
  • Park at P+R Maastricht Noord for free. From there, you can travel to the city centre quickly and cheaply (a day return is €2,20 per person, and the group fare for 3-5 people is €5,45) on bus numbers 10 and 30.
  • Park at the Park+Walk sites Stadspark or Frontenpark. On Saturdays and Sundays, the Bonnefanten car park is also a P+W location. You pay a daily rate of €9 at the Stadspark P+W car park and €10 at the Frontenpark and Bonnefanten P+W car parks. 
  • Visit our website for a complete list of all car parks.

Safely navigating the city

To slow down the spread of the coronavirus, the government has taken a number of measures. This also affects our mobility and a visit to the city center of Maastricht.
