Amsterdam gets all the love, but Utrecht is like its chilled-out little cousin. Canals with picturesque views? Check. Medieval architecture that screams "old world"? Yep. And a lively scene with tons of stuff to do? Absolutely!
Maastricht feels like a mix of all things good - Dutch, Belgian, and French influences all rolled into one! It's located way down south in the Netherlands.
This city isn't your typical European spot – it's all about bold, modern architecture. Think the iconic Erasmus Bridge and the crazy tilted Cube Houses!
