Since 2020, Maastrichter has been helping people discover the cultural richness of Maastricht and the surrounding region. What started as a volunteer-driven initiative has grown into a trusted platform that brings together concerts, festivals, exhibitions, performances, culinary experiences, and local happenings in one place. Today, we are proud to launch the Maastrichter Card – a new way to enjoy more of the region while helping us continue and improve the work we have been doing for the community.

What is the Maastrichter Card?

The Maastrichter Card is a digital membership card that gives you access to exclusive discounts and special experiences at participating restaurants, cafés, bars, and local businesses in Maastricht and the surroundings. It is designed for anyone who loves the city and our larger Euregion—residents, expats, students, and visitors alike.

By becoming a member, you gain:

• Discounts of up to 15% at a curated selection of partner venues.
• Priority access to exclusive member events like wine tastings and workshops.
• A sustainable way to support local culture, as your membership helps us keep our platform running and updated.

The card is entirely digital; after signing up, you simply show your unique barcode on your phone (or your purchase receipt) at any partner location to unlock your benefits.

Supporting the Only Cross-Border Cultural Calendar in the Region

Maastrichter is unique because we don’t only focus on the city center. We bring together cultural events and activities from across the entire Meuse-Rhine region, covering The Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Every week, we curate events from cities across three countries, including Maastricht, Heerlen, Lanaken, Sittard, Landgraaf, Liège, Aachen, Hasselt, and Genk. Since 2020, this has been done by dedicated volunteers. By purchasing a Maastrichter Card, you are directly supporting us to keep this cultural calendar active and helping us elevate the user experience to a higher level.

Boosting Local Restaurants on Weekdays

We want to help our local partners thrive throughout the entire week. While weekends are often bustling, weekdays offer a wonderful opportunity to experience the culinary scene in a more relaxed, intimate setting. Whether you are in Maastricht or exploring neighboring towns, visiting your favorite spot on a Tuesday or Wednesday means you can enjoy the atmosphere without the crowds. The Maastrichter Card encourages these weekday visits, benefiting both the diners and the hard-working local business owners across our cross-border region.

At the Heart of Maastricht’s Community

Maastrichter is more than an event platform. We actively connect people with the city and each other.

Through our own expat gatherings and networking events, we help both newcomers and long-time residents discover opportunities, meet people, and become part of the local community.

The Maastrichter Card complements this mission by making cultural participation and local discovery even more accessible.
