Weert is a compact city where the Markt with Sint-Martinuskerk, the shopping streets and the station sit a few cycling minutes apart, and the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal runs through town. Carnival is the high point of the year, as everywhere in Limburg, and 11% of listings are aimed at expats.

A typical Weert weekend: you cycle from your apartment to the Markt for coffee in the shadow of Sint-Martinuskerk, pick a restaurant terrace for lunch, and ride out in the afternoon to the IJzeren Man lake or the Weerter- en Budelerbergen heath on the western edge of town.

When Weert has no place that fits, three neighbours are worth a look: Nederweert just northeast along the canal, the villages of Leudal towards Roermond, and Someren across the provincial border in Brabant. Each is a short drive from Weert station.

Commuting from Weert runs through Weert station, where intercity trains stop on the line between Eindhoven and Roermond.

Eindhoven is about 21 minutes from Weert by public transport for 29 km, short enough that Weert works as a home base for jobs on the High Tech Campus or at the university. For the same apartment, Weert asks on average 21% less than Eindhoven.

Utrecht is about 74 minutes from Weert by public transport, Rotterdam about 92, Amsterdam about 109 and Den Haag about 111. That suits a hybrid job with a few office days a week in the Randstad.
