## Things to do in Maastricht for a day
- Go shopping in the “Wyck”, which is the hipster side of Maastricht and closer to the train station. It’s got a lot of eccentric little shops!
- Go take a walk by the Maas. Supposedly the bridge is the one that’s on the back of the 10€ note. I know all bridges look the same, but… Maastricht WAS where the European Union and the euro were founded, so it may actually be true!
- Go across the river and to the [Boekhandel Dominicanen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oKzFX9fZXndXoNxx8). It is an old church turned into a bookstore.
- Check out [De Bisschopsmolen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ajM1a2vY18uTbRz36), which is an old water mill that is still going. This is also a bakery where they still make pastries using that mill. This would be a great place to try vlaai, which is popular in Maastricht. There are many kinds, but rijstvlaai (with rice) is the most traditional.
- The [Vrijthof](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TX4G9K7eFBL2rRSp9) is the main square of Maastricht, and any of the restaurants there would be a good place to eat for the ambience.
- Go to the church at [Onze Lieve Vrouwe Plein](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Etndzpow1iFfZSwE6), an old Gothic basilica dedicated to “Our Lady of the Star of the Sea”.
