    Stroll along the cobblestone inner streets of Maastricht and enjoy gazing at wonderful shops or make a purchase. You will find many brands and hundreds of different kinds of shops. Overall there are about nine different streets that wind through the central part of Maastricht

    Look for clothing, jewelry, watches, specialty coffee, or many other articles -- and there are four different department stores along these streets

    Olivier Chocolatier: My vote for BEST chocolate

    CHOCOLATES
    by gkitzmil
    I've eaten many chocolates and been a judge at a chocolate festival -- and I believe the chocolates from Olivier are some of the best I have eaten. To be fair I have also had chocolates (pralines as they are called here) from Friandises in Wijk, Maastricht -- and they are good. Yet, my personal taste says the Olivier are my favorites.

    I really enjoy the Truffles and also the bon-bons with cognac!

    I recently read of another traveler who had done a taste test of about 20 chocolatiers in Europe and Olivier was not only the best in Maastricht but ranked second of all he tried (the #1 came from Brugge, Belgium).

    2.10 Euros for 100 gram, 7,20 Euros for 250 gram (a box of about 15 - 20 candies).

    If you want to buy some ground coffee I can highly recommend this coffee roaster. In fact though I had bought bigger packages elsewhere they proudly reminded me that their coffee is available in 250kg packages so I will always have the most freshly roasted. I make this coffee (I use a french press style coffee pot) daily and so enjoy it!

    If you only want to drink this coffee you can visit their coffee house at Wijk at the 1992Plein just across the River from the center of Maastricht

    The shop was founded in 1877 under a family name and only changed to the name of the granddaughter later.

    I love their coffee -- and their decaf coffee is really good (believe it or not). However, they are also a tee or tea packer so I would trust their choice of tea. Of course, the coffee will be fresher as no tea is grown and processed here.

    For a special treat I know they are often roasting peanuts so you could buy a bag of those, too.

    Euro 2.75 for 250 gr

    City Center: The City Center is Like a Giant Shopping Mall!

    Are we outside or inside?
    by BillNJ
    In a nutshell: if you like to shop, you'll like Maastricht. The city center is like a giant shopping mall -- there are lots of shops and stores. On one street, they have even built a glass cover over the street (see photo) which makes it seem like both an outdoor city street and an indoor shopping mall.

    You'll love the variety and selection of the merchandise in Maastricht. You just might not like the prices which are on the high side.

    A lot

    The saturday market at the Stationsstraat houses 2 rows of stalls with a lot of brick-a-brack. For the real bargain hunters and collectors it is highly recommended!

    Everything from books to computer parts.

    This shop makes their own chocolates and they are deliiiiiiiiiiicious!

    Once you step into the shop, you are welcomed by a strong smell of freshly made chocolates! mmmmm!!

    They have chocolate bars - milk, dark, white, even those with rice crispies inside.

    Pralines, of course! My favourite!

    6.25euros for 250g

    When you are in Maastricht or Limburg you have to buy a Vlaai. This is a typical pie that is made all throughout the Netherlands nowadays, but it originates from Limburg. The vlaai tastes the best if made in Limburg. There are all sorts of fillings, from rice to cherries.

    If you like the Dutch children's hero "Nijntje" ("Miffy" in English) this is paradise for you.

    You can buy everything here, from toys and children's clothes to plates and watches. I would have loved to buy the whole shop actually!

    Unfortunately the whole stuff isn't exactly cheap. But lovely!
