Cows once walked down Koestraat, on their way to markets and stables - hence the name. The street may be small, but it carries centuries of history in its pebbles. Today, it is a popular thoroughfare for those who want to combine the quiet of the square with the liveliness of the city: a place where Maastricht shows its most intimate side.
On Koestraat, cosy terraces line up. Behind every facade lurks a charming restaurant, a cosy wine bar or an atmospheric eatery. Here, glasses clink, freshly baked bread smells and you taste the burgundian soul of the city. The atmosphere is casual and warm - like a village in the heart of the city.
Note the stone pavements, wooden shutters and cast-iron lanterns. Koestraat was not designed for haste, but for discovery. A weathered statue of Mary in a niche, ivy along a facade, a cat sleeping on a windowsill - this is where Maastricht comes alive in the small.
At night, when the candlelight flickers on the terraces and the street lamps cast a warm glow, Koestraat transforms into a setting that feels almost cinematic-the sounds soften, time seems to stand still for a moment. It is a place to stroll through, without purpose - except perhaps wonder.
