At the heart of the Jeker Quarter are still parts of the old city wall and the famous Helpoort, the oldest city gate in the Netherlands, dating from around 1229. Near the Helpoort you will also find the Pesthuys stage, a cosy location for theatre, lectures and small-scale events. Walking between the old fortifications, you can feel the intertwining of history and present.
Thanks to Maastricht University, the Conservatory and the Jan van Eyck Academy, the Jeker Quarter is the city's intellectual hotspot - Maastricht's true Latin Quarter. Young creatives, gallery owners and students meet everywhere, working in the picturesque streets and congregating on terraces and in cafés.
Sint Pieterstraat and Maastrichter Heidenstraat are the district's atmospheric arteries: here you will find a wealth of boutiques, art galleries, concept stores and delicatessens. For a Burgundian snack or drink, head to Koestraat, Stenenbrug or the authentic Bisschopsmolen, where local flan and spelt rolls will spoil your Burgundian heart.
Along the Jeker meanders the City Park, a green oasis with walking paths, picnic spots and quiet corners. Here you can feel the combination of nature, medieval fortifications and contemporary relaxation. You will also discover historic water mills such as the Leeuwen and Bisschopsmolen - witnesses to Maastricht's industrial roots.
The Jeker Quarter is a unique Maastricht gem: a district where history, culture, nature and Burgundian pleasures come together. Whether you come for a cup of coffee in the sun, a dip into study culture or a culinary adventure - here you will discover the soul of Maastricht at its best.
