How we know

How we help you choose a stay

We compare areas, access and a local overnight stay with a day trip. Primary sources support the practical facts; commission does not determine our advice.

01

Areas and their differences

We compare the historic centre, Cauberg, Houthem-Sint Gerlach and Schin op Geul. Figures for the municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul do not automatically describe the town or one area.

02

When we recommend an overnight stay

We compare an overnight stay with the straightforward day trip from Maastricht. A night is practical when your plans cover both morning and evening or several local areas; otherwise, we recommend the day trip.

03

Freshness

  • Live operator and event sources: recheck every 30 days.
  • Rail network and live destination structure: every 120 days.
  • Municipal reports: no more than 550 days without a source refresh.
  • Christmas dates expire at the end of the confirmed season.

04

Limits of our advice

Figures for individual towns, areas and accommodation types can be limited. Check room availability, prices, tickets and departure times with the provider for your dates.
