This 19th-century Catholic church is located right in the middle of Sittard's historic center. It was the first Dutch church to be declared a basilica minor, by Pope Leo XIII in 1883.
This church became a collegiate church in 1299. It has an impressive church tower and was renovated and expanded a number of times.
This museum houses a small but descent collection of contemporary art as well as collections on the history of the city Sittard.
The old city wall is still more or less intact for a large part of Sittard. The walls and fortress were part of the city's defense fortifications.
Indoor swimming pool. During the summer outdoor pools are also open.
An old-fashioned café with a menu that is different. Not so much in terms of the dishes, which are good but common, but rather by the huge amount of information and facts about them. It's only in Dutch. Nevertheless, it's a cosy place to eat.
Good Thai cuisine and friendly service
This old-fashioned, cosy café offers good lunch options and dinner mains start from €12.50. Inside the café smoking is still common.
Fine dining.

By bus
Arriva offers bus connections from Sittards railway station to the surroundings.nl, though results vary. Busses run twice an hour to most locations.
By car or taxi
If you have a car, try parking outside the city center as it is much cheaper or even free. Renting a car is only useful if you want to head to the outskirts of town or even other cities or villages.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
