maastricht This picturesque, ancient city has

been serving as host to TEFAF since

its inception. Developed as a Belgic

settlement that was conquered by

the Romans in the Gallic wars,

Maastricht is now a modern city with

elements of ancient Rome, medieval

pilgrimage sites, 19th-century garri-

sons and fortresses, early industrial

relics, and contemporary fashion,

design and culinary destinations.

Maastricht sprawls across both sides

of the expansive Maas (Meuse) River,

and its landmark bridges provide

some of the Netherlands’ most

striking views. Sightseeing highlights

include the St. Servatius Basilica

Romanesque basilica on Vrijthof

Square, the Fort St. Pieter and its

magnificent caves creating a labyrinth

of more than 20,000 tunnels and the

underground network of casemates.

The Bonnenfantenmuseum has a

collection of Old Masters to modern

art. Shopping is particularly thrilling

in Maastricht, which boasts some

of Europe’s loveliest boutiques and

famous fashion brands. Just outside

the city, find various vineyards gracing

the slopes of the Limburg hills.

AMSTERDAM With more museums per capita

than any other city in Western

Europe, including the world-class

Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum,

the Stedelijk Museum of modern and

contemporary art, the Rembrandt

House Museum, and the Anne Frank

House, Amsterdam is arguably any

art aficionado’s ultimate destination.

Once famed mostly for its drugs-and-

sex liberties, these days Amsterdam

is better known as an arts and cultural

destination and the picturesque

“Venice of the North.”

Built on marshland beginning in the

13th century, Amsterdam grew rapidly

into a major metropolis within a few

centuries, and by the 17th century it

was recognized as one of the most

powerful cities in the world. The large-

ly preserved old centre of the city still

speaks to the glory days of the Dutch

Golden Age. The city’s famous Canal

Belt, built exactly 400 years ago, was

recently named a UNESCO World

Heritage site.

In addition to its extraordinary

museums, the city’s highlights include

the lovely central Vondelpark, luxury

shopping destination P.C. Hooft-

straat, the Royal Palace, the Hortus

Botanicus, famous squares such as

Leidseplein and Dam Square, and of

course the famous and gawk-worthy

Red Light District.

Amsterdam is 2 1/2 hours to Maastricht

Waldorf Astoria

PARIS Europe’s most romantic and dramatic

destination needs little introduction;

the City of Lights is home to some of

the world’s most famous sightseeing

attractions, including the Eiffel Tower,

Notre Dame, the Arc de Triumph, the

Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the

Tuileries Palace Gardens, and Sacré-

Cœur Basilica and countless other

historic monuments.

The Louvre, the Musee D’Orsay,

Centre Georges Pompidou are only

the most famous of the 173 museums

situated in the city, with many of its

lesser-known museums outshining

even the top art institutions

elsewhere. Musée Picasso recently

opened again after five years of

construction. Other newcomers to

the cultural landscape include the

Fondation Louis Vuitton, designed

by architect Frank Gehry.

Paris is divided into 20 districts, that

spiral out from the centre in the shape

of a snail, each with its own flavour

and identity. Historically important

art districts such as Montmartre

and Montparnasse are now tourist

attractions, but new art districts have

popped up with galleries in other

parts of the city such as Belleville

and Le Marais.

Shopping is always a wonderful

pastime at posh boutiques and

shopping centres throughout the

city, and specialized destinations for

haute couture include the Avenue

Montaigne and the Rue du Faubourg

Saint-Honoré.
