TEFAF Maastricht, the flagship fair of The European Fine Art Foundation, opens to the public at MECC Maastricht from Saturday 13 to Thursday 18 March 2027, after two invitation only days on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 March. The organiser says the fair showcases 7,000 years of art history across fine art, antiques and design, and it has been held in Maastricht since 1988. Its 39th edition in 2026 drew over 50,000 visitors across eight days, with 277 exhibitors from more than 20 countries and over 450 museums represented. MECC Maastricht sits in Randwyck, 250 metres from Maastricht-Randwyck station, with buses every five minutes from the city centre and Maastricht Central Station and a free TEFAF shuttle from the city centre during the fair. That gives you three sensible bases for TEFAF Maastricht hotels: Randwyck beside the venue, the old city centre and the Wyck district around the main station, or Valkenburg and the countryside of South Limburg for a quieter stay. This page shows live hotel rates for your dates. Tickets are sold separately by TEFAF, and Event Escapes is independent of the fair and its hotel partnership.

- Non EU travellers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System, with fingerprints and a facial image taken at the border, so allow extra time at passport control
- ETIAS, the EU's planned travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, was not yet in operation when we checked; the EU says it will announce the start date several months ahead, so check before you fly

Insider tips from repeat attendees
- On the day you check out, leave your suitcase at the hotel or use the lockers at MECC, as luggage cannot go into the fair
- The free TEFAF shuttle starts on Thursday 11 March, so invited guests on the preview days can use it from the city centre too
- If Maastricht itself looks full or expensive for your dates, compare Heerlen or Aachen, linked to Maastricht by the Three Country Train, or a countryside hotel around Valkenburg
