North Limburg on the rise
Good news for North Limburg. A recent article by L1 News shows that the region is on the rise as an attractive holiday region. Limburg as a province has also once again been named one of the Netherlands' most popular destinations.
Although cities can change positions in the rankings every year, Limburg remains firmly in the lead as a province. In doing so, Limburg even overtakes Brabant, which led the list for years, L1 reports, basing itself on the recently duplicated research by Hendrik Beerda.
In Hendrik Beerda's Cities & Regions Brand Research 2026, regions and cities are assessed on various factors, such as familiarity, appreciation and intention to visit a destination. So although Maastricht had to relinquish its position as the most popular city this year, Limburg as a province remains popular as a holiday destination. For many Dutch people, the province is the place to get away from it all.
