Andre Rieu In Maastricht By Eurostar - 3 Days

Itinerary

Day 1

Leave London St Pancras by Eurostar in the morning or early afternoon. Upon arrival in Brussels, meet your Tour Manager and transfer to your hotel. You'll then have the rest of the day free to relax.

Day 2

At around 1pm today we'll board the coach and travel to Maastricht. For the rest of the afternoon and early evening, wander the pedestrianised, cobbled streets around Vrijthof Square and explore the attractive shops, cafes and bars. Alternatively, join our optional private river cruise, and enjoy a welcome drink, and some cheese and biscuits, as your knowledgeable guide brings the city to life, pointing out historic sights and places of interest, including André Rieu’s castle home on St Pieter’s Hill. In the evening, take your seat in the Vrijthof Square for the highlight of your break - André Rieu and The Johann Strauss Orchestra in concert. In this magical setting, they'll perform music from across Andre's repertoire, including classical greats and themes from operas, musicals and films, as well as his trademark waltzes. After the concert is over, our coach will take you back to your hotel.

Day 3

After some free time, return to Brussels Midi to begin your Eurostar journey home (departing in the afternoon or early evening), at the end of a wonderful concert break. Back to top

Travelling to Europe

Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. Note that these new rules do NOT apply when travelling within the United Kingdom or to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland. You do require government issued ID when travelling by air though. Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names. Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you return home (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date"). These rules do not apply to travel to Ireland where you can continue to use your passport as long as it’s valid for the length of your stay. Visa - If you’re a tourist, you do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. Different rules will apply to Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania; if you visit these countries, visits to other EU countries will not count towards the 90-day total. Travel to Ireland will not change and stays there will not count towards the 90-day total. European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) - Commencing in 2023, all citizens of the United Kingdom will require a ETIAS electronic form completed prior to their arrival into the EU and Schengen member countries. The cost for this travel authorisation will be €7.00 per person with exceptions for under 18’s and over 70’s. The latest information and further details can be found at www.etias.com. Border Control - At border control, you may need to show proof of your return journey - your travel documentation issued by us will be sufficient for this. You will also need to use separate lanes from EU, EEA and Swiss citizens if manual checks are required. Healthcare Cover - You should always get appropriate travel insurance with healthcare cover before you go abroad which covers pre-existing conditions. You should understand the terms and conditions of your travel insurance and be happy with its cover for healthcare and travel disruption. Newmarket sell a comprehensive travel insurance policy. Ask our travel consultants for more information. You should also apply for a UK Global Heath Insurance Card (GHIC) which lets you get urgent state healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. Note GHIC is only valid in EU countries and not in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
