Summer in Limburg

Here in the heart of Limburg you can enjoy the summer. Stroll through one of the many nature parcs in Central Limburg or take a bike ride along the banks of the river the Maas. Experience the peace and splendor of the beautiful surroundings and discover surprising, historic cities such as Weert, Roermond or ‘het witte stadje’ of Thorn.

Imagine yourself in the south of France when you cruise the Maasplassen with a (rented) boat. The Maasplassen are the largest contiguous water sports area in the Netherlands, so there is absolutely no lack of peace and enough space here. At the end of the day you can enjoy the sunset which, wherever you are in Central Limburg, is equally beautiful everywhere.

Central Limburg: ideal for a day out, a weekend away, a short break or a longer holiday. Choose a luxury hotel, spend the night in the heart of the countryside or in a lively city centre, whichever you prefer.
There is plenty to see, do and experience for adults and children alike. You’ll find an overview of many of the events being held in Central Limburg on this website.
Shopping, cycling, walking, hiking, outdoor pursuits or simply enjoying the peace and quiet: it’s all possible in the heart of Limburg.

If you love water sports, then the Maasplassen – the biggest water sports area in the Netherlands – is the place to be.
Scenic beauty is all around: two National Parks, cross-border areas of natural beauty, woods and heathlands and countless splendid parks and gardens.

And there is plenty to experience in terms of cultural heritage too. You can imagine yourself back in time in the beautiful old villages and elegant towns and cities, such as the diocesan city of Roermond, the ‘little white town’ of Thorn and the fortified town of Stevensweert. Evidence of the rich Roman Catholic past can still be seen in the area’s many churches.
