What is the difference between a vacation in North and South Limburg? 

South Limburg is known for its iconic hilly landscape, the marl caves, and the Burgundian atmosphere of Maastricht and Valkenburg. North Limburg is flatter and is characterized by vast forests, the Maasduinen, and large family parks. For an active hiking holiday, you often choose the south, while water sports enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility often opt for the Maasplassen in Central Limburg or the nature in the north.

Are there holiday cottages in Limburg where dogs are welcome? 

Yes, Limburg is one of the most dog-friendly provinces in the Netherlands. At leisure time, you can specifically filter for a holiday home in Limburg with a fenced garden, which is ideal for dog owners. In many nature reserves, such as the Brunssummerheide or the Meinweg, there are special off-leash areas where your dog can run freely.

What are the most charming villages in South Limburg for tourists? 

Beside the city of Maastricht, villages like Valkenburg (coziness and caves), Gulpen (brewery and hiking), Epen (half-timbered houses and springs), and Vijlen (the highest situated mountain village) are very popular. Each village has its own character and offers direct access to the most beautiful hiking trails in the Netherlands.

Is Limburg suitable for a vacation with children? 

Absolutely. With amusement parks like Toverland, the spectacular GaiaZOO, and the many interactive mines and caves, Limburg is a top destination for families. Many travelers book a family-friendly holiday park in Limburg with an indoor pool, so there is entertainment for the children in any weather.

Do I need an e-bike for a cycling holiday in Limburg? 

In North and Central Limburg, you can get by just fine with a regular bike. In South Limburg, however, the slopes are steep. For the recreational cyclist, an electric bike is definitely recommended here to comfortably tackle the hills. Many of our holiday homes have lockable bike storage with charging points.

What to do in Limburg when it rains? 

Limburg has excellent indoor options. You can visit the caves of Valkenburg (where the temperature is always constant), shop at the covered Designer Outlet Roermond, relax in wellness centers like Thermae 2000, or visit one of the many museums in Maastricht, such as the Bonnefantenmuseum.

When are the Christmas markets in Limburg? 

The famous Christmas markets, especially those in the caves of Valkenburg and at the Vrijthof in Maastricht, usually take place from mid-November to early January. This is a very popular period, so we recommend booking your holiday home well in advance for the Christmas season.

Whether you choose an authentic half-timbered house in South Limburg, a modern apartment by the Maas, or a luxury home with a jacuzzi, at Leisure Time, you'll find your ideal match.
