    The picturesque southern part of the province, Heuvelland, is very popular with bikers. Be warned that the terrain is very hilly by Dutch standards.

    Eat

    Traditional cuisine sticks close with The Netherlands traditions of their barbeque sausages and the most popular, yet rather unusual german pepper steak.

    Drink

    Stay safe

    Limburg is quite densely populated, which means crime is also quite common. Especially drug-related crimes due Limburg's location on the German and Belgian border are widespread. If you do not seek contact with drug trafficers however, the province of Limburg is a relative safe province within the Netherlands
