Explore the romantic streets of the Jeker Quarter together with our guide and immerse yourself in the rich history of Maastricht. Discover how this fortified city developed into the vibrant university town it is today.
The picturesque little river Jeker winds its way beneath centuries-old houses and along charming streets, while the old city gate and historic city walls recall the past. Here you will also find beautiful city parks. In the background, the music of the conservatory can be heard, giving this district a unique and creative atmosphere.
Alongside traditional university programmes and the conservatory, you will also find the Jan van Eyck Academy and the Theatre Academy — each housed in buildings with distinctive and remarkable architecture. A perfect area for lovers of culture and nature. Stroll past small boutique shops, university buildings, the Natural History Museum, artists’ studios, the old city walls, and cosy cafés that make this district so popular with residents and visitors.
