Limburg Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Buy a copy of 'The Art of War' at the Paradise Bookstore in the Netherlands

From Trier in Germany to Maastricht in the Netherlands, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, located in the southeast of the Netherlands, on the banks of the Maas River, it was occupied by France and Belgium in the 18th century, and belonged to the Netherlands in 1830. The landmark of the town is the St. Servatius Church, which is also the tallest building in the city. As the oldest church in the Netherlands, it was built in the 6th century AD. St. Servatius was the first archbishop of the Netherlands and was buried here in 384 AD. The church still preserves many relics of St. Servatius himself, and there is a bronze statue of him in the backyard. Maastricht also has a business card - the Paradise Bookstore, which was transformed from the Dominican Church with a history of 800 years. The bookstore combines modern elements with Gothic architecture and uses the solemn atmosphere of the church to reflect the sanctity and importance of reading. Unique and harmonious. There are books in various European languages in the bookstore. I didn't see Chinese books, but I saw the English version of 'The Art of War' and the Dutch version of 'Tao Te Ching'. We each bought a beautifully bound 'THE ART OF WAR', which is 'The Art of War', as a souvenir. The price is 20 euros, and the discount is 17.9 euros. The tourists in the bookstore come from all over the world, with different skin colors and languages, gathered in the same place, doing the same thing - reading. Books are not only the ladder of human progress, but also the bridge that connects humans together. Paradise Bookstore Maastricht Design Hotel

Stop making noise! This is the most beautiful bookstore in the world.

selexyzdominicanen bookstore It was named the most beautiful bookstore in the world by The Guardian in the UK, and is also known as the "Heavenly Bookstore" among tourists. This bookstore located in the small town of Maastricht in the Netherlands was converted from a 13th-century church in 2006. Some people say that churches and bookstores are a natural pair, because you can look up and see the faded remnants of murals on the ceiling from 700 years ago. Bestsellers in the bookstore are placed on the lower shelves, while academic and profound books are displayed closer to "heaven". If you are wandering in the Netherlands or some other country in Europe, don't miss it.

📍 Maastricht ✈️ 🇳🇱 😎 Highly recommend place to quick visit if you are in Europe. Cheap Ryanair flights and can be booked on the day. Maastricht is known as the university city but the centre of the city have a lot of historic and interesting places to visit. Go for a boat trip and walk around the centre. There is also a famous library that like Harry Potter style and is worth to visit. #netherlands #summervacation #ryanair #europe #architecture #maastricht #weekendgetaway
