Our story

Are you new to Maastricht? Or just curious about the town and its history?
Meet Maastricht will take you on a beautiful journey through time, helping you discover the town’s secrets! We organize tailor-made activities for students, expats, and locals alike, in collaboration with experts from cultural institutions of Maastricht. We also guide you through the most interesting cultural events happening in Maastricht.

We launched this project in September 2016, because we felt that there was a gap in the cultural offers in the city.

There are around 120 000 residents in Maastricht including many who do not speak Dutch and often look at Maastricht through the eyes of a tourist! Before the launch of Meet Maastricht, there were hardly any ways for them to really get to know the city, with its beautiful monuments, stories, traditions and hidden treasures. So we started a collaboration with local experts in heritage and tourism and now we are really amazed about how quickly the Meet Maastricht community is growing!

Who are we?

Lucy Willems

“Meet Maastricht is the latest chapter in my lifelong habit of welcoming people to ‘my town’ – I am a native, have lived here most of my life, know the city like the back of my hand and keep making new discoveries. So join me in exploring the old and new, the familiar and surprising and everything Maastricht has to offer.”

Tania Comenencia

“My name is Tania, an eager new member of the MM team.
I’ve been living in NL since 2013, and studied Arts & Culture @ the university with a special interest in heritage and cultural education. As I have a vested interest in cultural education and hope to support MM in growing its presence among students, expats and others living in this lovely city.”

Peter Scheele

“I was eleven years old when I came to live in Maastricht and gradually I discovered how important it is to get to know the city, its history and culture. I’m Peter Scheele, my work for Meet Maastricht mainly consists of managing the website and the socials. And I took most of the photos in the site.”
