Gemeente Maastricht

Maastricht is the capital of the province of Limburg and has a population of over 123,000 residents. It is the birthplace of the European Union and the euro. Maastricht's location on the border encourages people in this region to think and act across borders, connecting and building bridges. From this unique international position and rich historical background, Maastricht can also be called the cradle of Europe. The municipality collaborates with the province, the university, and other partners on Europe: 'Working on Europe'.

Maastricht is a social and cohesive city that is increasingly developing and positioning itself as an international university city. We collectively further develop our rich productive and cultural heritage in a healthy, sustainable, prosperous, safer, accessible, innovative, and creative city. With this, Maastricht promises a top-quality living, working, and staying environment of European stature to all its residents, visitors, and businesses.
