Stop At: Markt, 6211 Maastricht, Netherlands
As you can of course see, the Market is dominated by the town hall, an example of Dutch classicism. During construction in the 17th century, several other buildings were demolished. Several houses, but also the Cloth Hall, the Belfry and part of the first city wall suffered the consequences. This created a more or less square market square, with the town hall in the middle. If you want, you can take a look inside.

The Dinghuis, built in the 15th century, has been used or operated for various purposes over the years. With special residents, from people to animals. Perhaps it is the only building in Maastricht that has served so many different and varied purposes over the years.

Stop At: Op de Thermen, 6211 GB Maastricht, Netherlands
Below our feet, five meters below the pavement of the square 'Op de Thermen', lie the remains of a Roman bathhouse. Historians suspect that this bathhouse in Mosa Trajectum was built in the second century and was extensively renovated two centuries later.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Onze Lieve Vrouw Sterre der Zee Basiliek, Onze Lieve Vrouweplein 7, 6211 HD Maastricht The Netherlands
The Basilica of Our Lady was partly built with marl blocks. It dates back to the 10th century and has something very special due to the little light available. In the church there is a treasury with important religious objects, such as richly embroidered chasubles, church silver and relics. The church is popular for lighting a candle. About 9,000 are burned every week.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Jekertoren, Sint Bernardusstraat, Maastricht The Netherlands
The Jeker Tower (also called Rondeel Tower or Maaspunt Tower) is a former rampart tower. The tower was a corner tower of the first medieval city wall. The original gate dated from the 13th century.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Helpoort - Vesting Museum Maastricht, Sint Bernardusstraat 24b, 6211 HL Maastricht The Netherlands
We pass the Helpoort, the city gate that dates back to the Middle Ages. A real journey back in time! At this point you will see the oldest city walls in Maastricht, the Onze Lieve Vrouwe wal. This section is said to date from 1250 and was part of a city wall of about 2.5 km long. There were also many gates with a defensive tower along the city walls. The Helpoort is said to have been built together with this wall, making it the oldest tower in Maastricht.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Pater Vincktoren, Jekerkwartier, 6211 HJ Maastricht The Netherlands
While walking we pass the Pater Vinck Tower. This beautiful tower does not belong to the same wall as that of the Gate of Hell. This wall was built a hundred years later. The tower is a partial reconstruction and bears the name of Father Vinck. He was sentenced to death in 1638 for allegedly helping the Spaniards conquer Maastricht.

Stop At: Begijnenstraat, 6211 JR Maastricht, Netherlands
Our route leads past this beautifully restored building, which is a remnant of the Faliezustersklooster. It dates from the 17th century and is therefore more than 350 years old.
