🌙 Night Hike: Maastricht After Dark, Riverside & Socialising 🏛️🍻

Spend your Friday evening exploring Maastricht on foot and meeting new people! We’ll enjoy an 8–10 km hike, then head to a local bar or restaurant to relax and continue chatting.

Starting from Maastricht train station, we’ll explore the city’s historic streets and riverside surroundings along the Maas. Expect an easygoing atmosphere, evening views and plenty of conversation along the way.

Coming on your own? You’ll be in good company—everyone is welcome! 😊

📅 Date & time

Friday, 25 September 2026
Meeting time: 8:00 PM

We’ll allow 15 minutes for everyone to arrive and set off at approximately 8:15 PM.

📍 Where we meet

Maastricht train station

We’ll gather outside the station. A precise meeting location will be shared before the event through our WhatsApp group.

🥾 The walk

• Distance: 8–10 km
• Estimated duration: 2.5–3 hours, depending on our pace and stops
• A sociable pace with time to enjoy the surroundings
• Evening walking through Maastricht and along the riverside

You don’t need hiking experience, but you should feel comfortable covering the full distance. The final route may vary with the weather and conditions.

🍻 Afterwards: bar or restaurant

Once we finish walking, we’ll head to a local bar or restaurant for drinks and more time together.

Staying afterwards is optional, so you’re welcome to join just for the hike. We’ll choose the venue according to group size and availability. Everyone pays for their own food and drinks.
