last update: Feb.19, 2025
Hotel DuCasque replaced the aging webcam in July 2014, facing the Vrijthof square in Maastricht.
Update May 6th 2024: Message from the hotel manager: “Unfortunately we are not able to send out
live streams of the Vrijthof anymore due to the privacy law”.
Since January 2022 “HeelHollandkijkt“ added another webcam to the Vrijthof (from the side) and one
overlooking the river Meuse, and the Old Bridge, from the facade of café-restaurant “The Piepenhoes”.
Please click HERE to see the images of these three high quality webcams.

Cancellation of Fan dinner:
Due to the lack of registrations for the annual fan dinner in July, we have had to decide to stop
organizing this as of 2025. We look back on 18 fantastic fan dinners from 2005 to 2024
(in 2020 and 2021 there were no concerts/fan-activities due to the Covid pandemic),
but as the Maestro always says: Everything has an end.
We thank shipping company Stiphout for their delicious buffets and warm hospitality.
Currently a few fake Rieus are misleading the fans on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Telegram.
Be sure that the real André Rieu never writes messages to fans on Facebook, via PM or otherwise.
He’ll never ask for money or whatever. He has no adopted son, he does not announce concerts or Meet
and Greets on Facebook. The right information can be found on his official website: www.andrerieu.com
So please report and block these fake persons. Instructions (from André’s Facebook page) how to
do that, click HERE.
