A day out with friends in Maastricht doesn't have to end at a terrace, even though the Vrijthof is perfect for that. The city is compact, and you can fill a day underground, on wheels or in warm water. And yes, every coffee comes with a slice of vlaai. Below are six activities that work well for a group of friends.
The tricky part is usually not the searching, but the choosing. One person wants to explore the caves, another mostly wants to lounge in the sauna. With Flip 2 Trip, you create a trip for free as the organiser, everyone swipes on their own phone, and you get the top 3 plus a day programme. That way the group wins, not the loudest voice.
Frequently asked questions
What can you do in Maastricht with friends?
You can explore the marl caves, take a Segway tour through the city, cycle underground in Valkenburg or spend a day at Thermae 2000. In between, a terrace on the Vrijthof and, of course, vlaai are a must.
What's a good day out with friends in Maastricht when it rains?
The caves are a great choice, as you'll stay dry and it's cool in there all year round. Thermae 2000 is a second option if you'd rather spend the day in warm water and the sauna.
Can you combine a friends' day out in Maastricht with an overnight stay?
Absolutely. Spend day one in Maastricht with caves and Segways, then head to Valkenburg the next day for cave cycling or wellness. That also leaves you an evening for dinner and a terrace.
How do you get a group of friends to decide easily?
With Flip 2 Trip, you create a trip for free and everyone shares their preferences by swiping on their own phone. As the organiser, you get the top 3 and a day programme, without endless group-chat arguments.
