Magische Cashcard

During Magisch Maastricht Vrijthof, you can easily pay with your Magische Cashcard, our payment method during the winter event. The card costs €1. It can be purchased at one of our ticket counters, where you can also top up the card with credits immediately.

You can easily top up your Magische Cashcard via your phone, so you avoid waiting in line at one of our ticket counters.

If you have any remaining credits on your Magische Cashcard upon departure, you can request a refund. You can claim the money back until January 10, 2025. Administrative fees for processing the refund are equal to 1 credit.

The card can be recharged during the 2025 edition, so you won’t need to buy a new card.

Tickets

The winter event Magisch Maastricht Vrijthof is freely accessible. However, you will need tickets for various attractions. These can be purchased on-site or through our webshop. All attractions can be visited without a reservation. If you want to ensure a spot on the curling rink, reserve your preferred time slot through the webshop.

Accessibility

Magisch Maastricht Vrijthof takes place at the Vrijthof in Maastricht. The city of Maastricht offers sufficient (paid) parking in the vicinity of the Vrijthof. In 15 minutes, you can walk to Magisch Maastricht Vrijthof from Maastricht station, via the city centre. Would you rather travel by public transport? Line buses run from Maastricht station towards the Market Square “Markt”.

Good news for cyclists! An additional bike parking facility will be installed at Keizer Karelplein, making it easy and safe to park your bike. Leave the car at home and visit us by bike!

Friday through Sunday are our most crowded days. Therefore, we recommend planning your visit on a weekday. In collaboration with 'Bezoek Maastricht,' we strive to inform everyone as effectively as possible about the accessibility of Maastricht and our winter event.
