In a less-developed country, you come to expect taxi rip-offs of foreigners. But in an upscale city like Maastricht in the Netherlands? The city should definitely crack down on this dishonest practice because it gives a bad impression to visitors. Also, I recommend that the city institute a flat-rate taxi cab charge from the train station to city center destinations like some cities such as Toronto have done for trips from the airport. Or, at a minimum, Maastricht should require taxi cabs to charge a uniform, metered rate based on the duration of the ride.

In the morning of my second day in Maastricht, I wanted to log onto the internet to check my email. I located two internet cafés -- the first on Boschstraat near the Markt and the second on a small side street between the VVV and the Vrijthof. Neither was open until noon! They both had operating hours from noon to midnight. Apparently, they assumed that, with all of Maastricht's great bars and pubs, they wouldn't have enough customers in the morning to justify an early opening. Or, perhaps, the owners didn't think their employees would recover from their hangovers until noon? In any event, I thought the late opening time at both places was strange.

A big media circus started because who was to blame? When I was there the balconies were supported by some scaffolding. Leave a Comment

I imagine that the construction we saw literally all over the city was temporary but it really spoiled our visit to Maastricht, every direction we looked we saw scaffolding, construction cranes and construction fences. I'm not sure if this was part of an attempt to beautify the city for a particular purpose or if it all just coincidentally was occuring at the same time... Leave a Comment

watch out for pick pockets, specially on days with lots of people ....
And watch out for your bicycle, take 1000 locks and use them, The Netherlands is a bicycle country
and some people think that someone elses bicycle is everyones bicycle......
Oh and not every shop or restaurant takes creditcards, but most banks do ......
Picture of an old painting from the bridge , it still looks like that !!
