Things to do in Maastricht and Surroundings:
Bonnefantenmuseum
The Bonnefantenmuseum combines, in a building by Aldo Rossi, private and public collections with both old master painting and sculpture as cutting edge contemporary art. Furthermore it hosts the so-called Rijksmuseum Maastricht and collections focused both on medieval applied arts (Neutelings) as on mainstream contemporary (Vandenhove).
Golfcourse 'Het Rijk van Margraten'
In the rural region between Maastricht and Cadier & Keer on the edge of the South Limburg Hills – wedged in between the Meuse Valley and the Marl Country, surrounded by old forests and gently sloping country estates, and with a great view of Maastricht and Bemelen – lies “Het Rijk van Margraten”. A new regional golf course has been laid out here, while retaining the original character of the surrounding landscape. This fully-fledged public golf course has an 18-hole competitive course, a 9-hole practice “pitch & putt” par 3 course, and a driving range.
