Maastricht has an </div><div>airport, named Maastricht-Aachen airport, with connection to a few places in </div><div>Europe. There is a bus going from the airport the train station of Maastricht. </div><div>Another possibility is Eindhoven airport, which has more connections to cities </div><div>in Europe. There is bus going from the airport to train station of Eindhoven. </div><div>There one can take the train to Maastricht, which takes one hour. It is also </div><div>possible to fly to Schiphol airport near Amsterdam, which is the main airport </div><div>in the Netherlands. The train from Schiphol to Maastricht takes two and a </div><div>half to three hours with a switch in Amsterdam central station or in Utrecht </div><div>central station. A last option by airplane is flying to Zaventem, the main </div><div>airport in Belgium near Brussels. The train from Zaventem to Maastricht </div><div>requires one and a half hours.</div><div><br></div><div>Maastricht has a train connection to the Netherlands and Belgium.
