Maastricht's Stories, Streets, and Traditions Podcast Tour

From

Discover a city that defies its own country. While the rest of the Netherlands embraced Calvinist austerity, Maastricht spent two millennia perfecting the Burgundian art of living—a devotion to good food, lingering conversations, and layered history. Trace the city from a Roman river crossing to a medieval pilgrimage hub and the birthplace of the modern European Union. Taste old pie traditions, descend into Roman ruins beneath a modern hotel, and explore a medieval church reborn as a temple of books.
