Valkenburg is located in the South Limburg part of Holland, famous for its beautiful undulating scenery and pretty villages. As the oldest tourist centre in the Netherlands, Valkenburg itself boasts many attractions. It is famous for its historic caves with a network of over 150 miles of underground corridors beneath the town. A visit to these fascinating caves is highly recommended (opening varies seasonally). There is plenty to keep you occupied above ground as well, such as the striking Valkenburg Castle ruins, the only castle in the country built on a hill. There are also many shops, bars, cafés and restaurants.

Maastricht

Maastricht is a beautiful city to visit, filled with history, art and culture. It is a city surrounded by beautiful nature set in the south of Holland and boasting beautiful historic little districts, welcoming and exceptionally good restaurants and eateries, and plenty of art and attractions. And the best thing is that you can see the entire city centre on foot. Maastricht is also a city of indulgence and culinary highlights. There are pleasant lunchrooms, Michelin-starred restaurants and an extensive range of excellent regional products and dishes. In short, ‘bons vivants’ should not miss out on Maastricht!

We then continue to Aachen, ancient capital of the Frankish Empire, where you enjoy some free time to explore and view the impressive sights of this historic city.

Highlights include the Town Hall, and the Elisenbrunnen fountain, which is also the symbol of the town, plus magnificent Aachen Cathedral, northern Europe's oldest cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stroll through its narrow cobblestone streets, flanked by half-timbered houses and charming boutiques. The Rotes Haus museum provides a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century life.
