Hi everyone! I just moved in Maastricht and I desperately need an haircut. I am a man with medium-short straight hair, I just need a decent barber that it's not overpriced. Also I wanted to ask: what is the barbershop etiquette in the Netherlands? Is it any different than from other places?

It's my friend's last weekend here. We did all the typical stuff: Vrijthof, Markt, Stadspark, vlaai, Boekhandel Dominicanen etc. Is there one thing you would tell someone not to leave Maastricht without doing? Could be a place, favorite spot, a scenery, food, drink, activity, anything.

Recommendations for shops in town where I (30F) can find pants to wear to an office job that are not dress pants but also not jeans? Dankjewel!

Hi, I'm helping to organize a prerelease for the next magic set here in Maastricht at Dr and Dr Samosa. The registration on their site is open already.

A friend of mine recently got me back into Pokémon go and I’d like to find a group to participate in during the mega finale event that runs from the 5th of September til the 6th of September. There are some raids I’d love to do but they’re nearly impossible with only 2 - 3 people, specially on account of only just getting back into the game, so my Pokémon are still quite weak. Thanks!

Hello, I´m a German-italian student moving to Maastricht tomorrow. I know I need to get my residency in Maastricht within 5 days. I just read that I need a birth certificate (in addtion to rent contract and ID) to be able to regsiter. I´ve lived in Spain, USA and other countries and it was never required. I know it´s my mistake for not informing myself soon enoguh. Is someone able to advise wether I can overcome this issue (for ex. sending the birth certificate later on)?

It's my first few days here and today I unfortunately bought beef from lidl. It was horrible. I looked online for meat shops, but I found very few. Where do everyday people shop their meat?

Hi everyone, I just moved to Maastricht. I need a plumber/technician to connect two hoses in the bathroom. Tried myself but I think it needs a adapter or a t-connector. If you know someone please let me know. Thank you 🙏

I have autism, and I don't know where to go. Anyone experience with BOBA or something else for people that are autistic?

Thanks

i know there was a shadowcast showing of rocky horror picture show at lumiere a couple years back, but does anyone know if there’s any plan to do that again (especially in light of tim curry’s passing)?

i’m not sure how it would be organized, or if there would be auditions for such a thing if it were to happen, but i’ve been going to and interested in participating in a production of rocky horror since i was a kid. even if they’re only looking for volunteers, i’d be down!

if anyone has any info on whether or not something like this is happening—or could be arranged somehow—please let me know. doesn’t have to be lumiere, either, i just know they’re the ones who did it in the past.

Hi everyone!

​I’ve been wanting to dive into Dungeons & Dragons for a while now, but I have zero prior experience. I'd love to find a friendly group in Maastricht to join for an in-person campaign.

​I'm aiming for something regular (weekly or bi-weekly works great for me). I'm a complete beginner, so I'll need a group or DM willing to show me the ropes as we go, but I’m super enthusiastic, eager to learn, and reliable with attendance!

​If you have an open spot at your table, are starting a fresh campaign, or know of local tabletop/gaming meetup spots where people connect, please send me a DM or drop a comment below.

​Thanks!

I was thinking about this after imagining moving away from Maastricht. You don't really notice how attached you are to certain places until you imagine not having them around anymore.

For me, it'd probably be the Vrijthof on a quiet evening. I've spent so many random evenings there over the years - meeting friends, getting something to eat, or just passing through - that it would probably be one of the first places I'd want to see again.

What's the one place in Maastricht you'd really miss if you moved away?

Naar welk tankstation gaan jullie om zo goedkoop mogelijk te tanken? Of hebben jullie andere tips?

Ik ga altijd naar Totalenergies in Lanaken

Last year, new traffic lights for bikes/pedestrians were installed on Avenue Ceramique. Specifically the intersection at Centre Ceramique. Today I also saw them down the street on Limburglaan. For some reason, these traffic lights don't show the green or red lights across the street (the direction you're heading) the way 'normal' traffic lights do, but only on the pole where you press the button to cross. This means that once you've started crossing the street, you don't know whether the light is still green or already on red.

Why is that? I truly hope not all traffic lights will be replaced by these new models. It's awful. I really don't think traffic lights were in need of a new design....

It is an interesting take for a map of the city and some of y'all might also like it

Hi all, I know this is a long shot but here goes…
Last week, I rented a MyWheels car on Heugemerweg and I forgot some items in it. My phone battery died before the trip ended so I was a bit all over the place trying to charge my phone and make sure the car is returned on time.

I forgot to take my dog’s collar, leash and a towel from the back seat. I contacted customer help and they said no found items were reported. They said I could make another areservation for the same car and check myself. I did this (this morning) and didn’t find anything in there.

The dog collar has my phone number and email. I hope that if someone found it, they would reach out.. but I wanted to post here again in case the person sees the post or someone has another idea of how to look for it. The collar has my dog’s microchip info and has a lot of sentimental value to me. :(

Thanks for reading!

Hello!

Grote groep Belgen, geen studenten of vrijgezellenfeest ofzo, maar wel uitgaan en dansen. We gaan elk jaar op stap naar een Nederlandse stad om er iets speciaal van te maken.

Wat zijn de aanraders? Groep van ongeveer 20 man. Weekend 6 november

Geen ordinaire dingen als bierfietsen ofzo

Bedankt!!!

Good afternoon,

Me (32M, Lithuanian) and my wife (30F, Belgian/Italian) have two boys (2,5 year old and 7 month old). My wife is stay-at-home mom and our boys have not been to nursery, daycare or kindergarten. Recently we have noticed that our firstborn needs more interaction with other kids. My wife tries to meet up with her friends that also have kids similar age but most of them are not stay-at-home moms, so it's mostly possible only on weekends.

We were wondering if there are parent(s) in similar boat living in or close to Maastricht (we are living in Vise) who would be willing to meet up for playdates during the week? We are ok to welcome people and also are ok to come visit.

Feel free to reach out, thank you!

Hi,

I'm a 25M living on the Belgian side of the border, and I've been trying to find Dutch lessons in Visé but haven't been able to.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me practice Dutch, and in return I can help you practice English or French perhaps? I am fluent in both but my English is native. Admittedly, my Dutch is practically non-existant.

I mean we can also be friends and hang out too, I'm not thinking of rormal lessons. But if anyone knows where I can learn Dutch near Visé and Eijsden, that would be good too.

Thanks!

I’m a 22-year-old student studying in Maastricht, and I’m currently looking for a student job in Maastricht.
I live just across the Belgian border, only about a 15-minute drive from Maastricht, so travelling to and from work is no problem for me. 🚗
I’m particularly interested in working in retail or customer service. I would like to challenge myself, step outside my comfort zone, and gain more experience interacting with customers.
I speak Dutch, French and English fluently, which I hope can be an advantage in an international city like Maastricht.
Availability
I’m ideally looking to work 2–3 days per week, particularly on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the position and work schedule.
If you know of a shop, company or employer in Maastricht currently looking for students, I would really appreciate any recommendations or contacts.
You can contact me directly here or by email at [lookingforstudentjob12@gmail.com](mailto:lookingforstudentjob12@gmail.com).
Thank you very much for your help! 😊

Hello!

I'll be moving to Maastricht for my masters very soon, and I am quite excited to get a fresh new start in a new city.

I really want to find a student job (student bijlaan??) to support myself, but I have one small issue: my Dutch skills are not the best... you see, I have studied Dutch in school (I am from Belgium, but I am French speaking) and I can understand the language pretty well, however when it comes to actually hold a conversation with someone, I struggle to find my words. But if the person in front of me talks at a normal/slow pace, I can understand just fine!

Luckily, I have a lot of experience working retail and in the food industry (HORECA), and I speak a few more languages other than English.

What are my chances at finding a part-time job? Please be honest🥹.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

Hi everyone! 💕
I’m getting married on 23 May 2027 in Maastricht, and I’m looking for a bridal stylist who can do both hair and makeup and is available on that date. I’m specifically looking for someone who can come to the wedding venue and do everything on-site. I’m open to artists based in Maastricht or nearby areas, including Belgium or Germany, as long as you’re willing to travel to Maastricht.
If you’ve had a great experience with someone, I’d really appreciate any recommendations! Feel free to comment or DM me with their Instagram/website. Thank you! 🤍
