What should I pack when moving to Maastricht?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Maastricht to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Maastricht, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for different weather conditions, including warm clothing for the winter months and lighter clothing for the summer. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also essential due to the frequent rain in the Netherlands. You should also pack comfortable walking shoes, as Maastricht is a very walkable city. If you plan on cycling, which is a common mode of transportation in the Netherlands, consider packing a helmet and other necessary cycling gear. Don't forget to pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary medical records or prescriptions. If you're moving for work or study, remember to pack any necessary work materials or school supplies. Pack your electronics, including your laptop, phone, and chargers. An adapter may be necessary as the Netherlands uses Type C and Type F plugs. You may also want to pack some personal items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. Lastly, pack toiletries and other personal care items to last you the first few weeks, until you can find where to buy them locally. Remember that it's not necessary to pack everything; many items can be purchased once you arrive in Maastricht," remarked another expat who made the move to Maastricht, The Netherlands.
