My favorite HEMA to shop at in Maastricht is definitely the one on Grote Straat. If you're from the…read moreU.S., HEMA is the equivalent to Target -- you can find everything here and will probably end up buying things you don't even need. Since this is one of the larger HEMA stores in Maastricht, you can explore the upstairs area and even find a small cafeteria. Downstairs, there's also a food section with a small bakery. If you think you're going to be a frequent shopper here, I recommend getting a rewards card and keeping up with the email newsletters they send out with weekly deals!

Pretty small for a Galaria Kaufhof But still a good one!read more

Came here a couple of times to buy shoes, clothings, and gifts. I love that the sales associates…read moreare very helpful and not pushy at all. They have a great variety of chocolate and wine over at the cafe area. The packaging is perfect for gifting as is, but they also wrap the gifts for you in nice black, sleek wrapping paper. Of course, can't forget the signature Bijenkorf orange bow. We tried a vegan square frambozen (raspberry cake) and weespermoppen (almond cookies). The cake was melt in your mouth amazing. The almond cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I can tell it's well made. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the one in Amsterdam has a much wider selection in terms of handbag and shoes. My biggest tip for those shopping here if you're planning to leave the EU within 3 months: - Ask for a Global Blue VAT refund form and make sure the retailer stamps and signs it. Your order must be at least €50. - Why? Because the prices you see and pay include VAT (similar to sales tax). If the refund process is done correctly, within a few weeks you'll receive roughly 10% back. - I had it refunded directly against my credit card balance. You can get it back in a variety of methods (cash, bank deposit, etc). - Fill out the form you get and get a customs stamp. The most convenient method in my opinion is to simply get the stamp at a participating airport (Schiphol, for example), you can also drop it off at the airport. Otherwise you'll have to personally mail it. - You *must* show the customs agent an outbound plane ticket for proof of exporting the product. - Of course, make sure to read the instructions you get in its entirety. Money is money!

This store is kind of like the Macy's of Europe, maybe even better than Macy's. A high-end…read moredepartment store selling perfumes, name brand clothing, purses etc. de Bijenkorf has it all. I love stopping in and checking out their cosmetics and bath and body products. Last year I stopped in to buy gift sets from their Rituals counter for my family during Christmas time. Everyone was very helpful and they individually wrapped each gift I bought. Also during holiday season they have their own display of holiday lights which is fun to look at. Conveniently located within a few meters walking distance from the Eindhoven train station, this store is quite easy to get to.
