We purchased the hotel and ticket package directly from Andre Rieu’s company. Wondering if anyone can share suggestions or helpful information. We are coming into town early the day if the concert. Thank you very much!

Hi Allison,
I am so jealous! I have no advice to offer as I have never been to Maastricht. I hope you have a wonderful time. Please write a trip report when you return home. My goal is to purchase ta ticket package for a 2024 or 2025 concert. I will be interested to hear how this worked for you. I am sure the concert will be a magical experience. I have been to three of his concerts in the US.

Thank you Leonard for helping. We (my husband and I) are arriving via car. We are flying into Brussels and then going to Bruges and Ghent. We decided to rent a car rather than take the train as I want to drive around the WWI sights surrounding Ypres as well as visit the American Cemetery. Then Sunday, the date of our concert we are driving into Maastricht and staying at the Derlon which comes with our ticket and hotel package. Our check-in time isn't until 3PM but we are planning to arrive by noon and drop off our car and belonging and start sightseeing. I don't really know what to expect. I an thrilled to be able to attend the concert but don't what else I need to know. Thank you very much.

A car might come in handy to visit the American cemetery, but you really don’t want a car to visit Bruges, Ghent and Maastricht. Your hotel in Maastricht is right on one of the busiest squares in the city. Busy with pedestrians and people sitting on outdoor terraces that is, not busy with cars. Have you thought where you will park your car in Maastricht? And in Bruges and Ghent?
