Jekerkwartier & City Walls
Jekerkwartier
The quiet southern old town along the Jeker River, with cobbled lanes, watermills, and city-wall parks. It is one of Maastricht's most peaceful and photogenic corners.
The Jeker district lies in the south of the old town. The Jeker River splits into several branches that flow between the houses. Along its banks stand old watermills and historic buildings of the university and the art academy. The City Wall Park preserves 13th- to 16th-century walls, towers, and moats, and you can walk along the walls all the way to Helpoort. The district has many cafés and small galleries, making it good for a slow stroll. It is open all day, and it is about a 10-minute walk south from Vrijthof Square.
