Neighborhoods

An old neighborhood, which is vigorously being renovated. A mixture of young families and true Masstrichtenars. After putting the highway underground, and creating a city park -- the "Groene Loper" -- this area is slowly becoming much more vibrant and active than in the past. You are within walking distance (<10 min) to the central station, the "Groene Loper", and across the station the Wyck Neighborhood. Quiet, yet close to everything. The city center (across the river) and the MECC are about a 10-15 minute walk away -- both on a very nice route.

The youngest part of the old city, which is the hippest part of town. The first neighborhood you reach after crossing the station. New shops, restaurants, bars, and a brewery are housed here. Overall most of the places in this neighborhood are pretty solid -- the bad ones go away quickly.

Food scene

Excellent terrace near the heart of the newly renovated neighborhoods, with playgrounds around. Awesome place to grab a drink, hapjes are great, food can be hit or miss.

Excellent Persian kitchen. Incredible lunch for the money. Quiet street within a quick walk from the house for a great meal while avoiding the busyness of the city.

My favorite restaurant. Two person operation, the chef works the kitchen and his wife works the tables. Always a treat. Highly recommended for a nice night out.
