Set on both banks of the River Maas, the historic city of Maastricht has a lot to offer to beauty-seeking adventurers. Besides being a culture and art hub, it boasts breathtaking architecture, a scenic Old Town and ancient walls, plus a wealth of churches and basilicas, some of which are amongst the oldest in the Netherlands.
Once your flight lands at MST, a taxi is the most convenient choice to avoid hassle and get to your accommodation as soon as possible, especially if you arrive late at night or early in the morning. Yet, there is a bit of waiting involved for regular airport taxis, as you have to go to the taxi rank and call one of the local companies – no vehicles are readily available at the line. For instant boarding, you can pre-book a private transfer. The average cost of a taxi ride from Maastricht Airport to Maastricht is €45, and it will take 15 minutes more or less.
Public transportation is a reliable alternative if you’re travelling on a budget. The Arriva bus 30 leaves the airport twice per hour and takes you to Maastricht Train Station downtown, with various stops in between. The bus journey lasts 20-22 minutes, costing €3.40 per single one-way ticket.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Maastricht at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
