Breda & Maastricht in NL

<BR>We are trying to get out of Amsterdam on Queen's Day because we've heard that it can be a nightmare. <BR> <BR>Has anyone ever been to the towns of Breda or Maastricht? <BR> <BR>What were your experiences -- good and bad? Any hotel advice? <BR> <BR>Thanks Fodorites!

Well, you will miss the best party of the year in Amsterdam..... <BR>Maastricht is a nice old town, in the only hilly part of the Netherlands. Good hiking. <BR>Breda is OK. www.gotoholland.com has descriptions of most towns.

If you really want to leave Amsterdam I would vote for Maastricht, being much more cosy than Breda.
