The store is a little smaller than I expected. With Maastricht being a pretty big city and all…read more It's nice and clean and the staff is very polite. The clothing selection is pretty nice and the sale had allot of nice things on offer so even though it's not really close to home I'll sure be stopping by again soon.

Suffice it to say that enough people have raved about this place! And I figured one more review to…read moreadd to the base of ardent fans of this wonderful bookstore and cafe! The grilled cheese here is one of the best I have had outside of the US. I wasn't expecting it, so it came as wonderful surprise! I ordered a cheese sandwich that I had seen on the display, prepackaged, and when they asked me if I wanted it heated, I said yes. The result was this marvelous grilled sandwich which was simply divine! You have to pay a Euro in coin to use the bathrooms at this establishment! Just an FYI, NOT a complaint! Anything to support a wonderful place like this!

Located in the more than 700 year old Dominican church, the Guardian named it "The fairest bookshop…read moreof the world, a bookshop made in heaven," Bookstore Dominicans offers the most complete and varied assortment of books from the city of Maastricht. Even if you don't buy a thing here just drop in for a visit. If you are a book lover you will love it. There are tons of books here and I am sure you will find something of interest. I loved this shop :-)

The cosy shop offers so many of the little things you've always looking for so badly when you need…read morea birthday present, but don't know what to buy. Additionally, you can actually sit down here and get a barista coffee and deliciously looking cakes. The products in the store are not usual domestic household stuff. The buying agent of that store has an eye for the exceptional. You find all that you might need for a household: Boxes, sheets, cups... But any of those are very particular and special. Let me give you an example and talk about the cups. They are very simple, white with one word written into it. Everybody knows those way too colourful cups with stupid sentences on them... That's not what you find here. The white cups are made of porcelain and the one word on it is enough to say a lot... You find "princess" and other normal words, but also very particular ones like like #fml or slut and slave. (Just look at the pictures, others did - when I got there, taking pictures inside was forbidden). The blankets are made out of wool and done really well - the ones that mothers pass on to their children and to last at least a lifetime. Well, they should, as everything in this store is quite pricy - but also valuable and seems to be worth the money. If you want to just enjoy to look at the beautiful things, why don't you just grab a barista coffee and sit down on one of the big wooden tables in the middle of the store. I love stores that are a bit inconvenient and combine a coffee shop with the store - and they did it really well. There's even a table at the entrance so you can look at the street. The inconvenience about the combination is the smell of the things in the store. Well it is not bad like the ones in the stores that sell really cheap stuff, thankfully, because if it's that bad I usually don't even enter. No, this store smells nice, just don't expect an overwhelming coffee scent like usual in a 100%-coffee-store. All in all, I wished I had such a store in my neighbourhood. I would never have to worry getting a really nice birthday present ever again.

This historical city is known for it's architecture, culture, shopping and fine restaurants. One of the best cities in the Netherlands to visit! Zara rocks here big time! Almost everything on the rack I adored. I bought some lovely shoes and a beautiful hat that made me look like Diahanna Carol, which is one of the (best fashion icon). There is no denying that I thought I look stunning in my lavish navy blue hat, stylish petite red and blue stripe dress, and diva heels. Zara is one of the best places to shop in the Netherlands. The prices are reasonable and they take the lead when it comes to fashion.

Big Zara fan, but I will definitely never frequent this local shop ever again. I've never once…read moreencountered such a rude staff member who told us that my Mother couldn't try on the ONE sweater she wanted to, since they would be closing (it wasn't even closing time yet and we were some of the only people in the store), we were told she should buy it without trying it on, even though I explained she was only visiting and flying home tomorrow, where she has no Zara stores nearby. The saleswoman rolled her eyes and and said they never make exceptions and was so rude, my friend and I accompanying my Mother were taken aback.
