The oldest bridge in the Netherlands, pedestrian-only, linking the old town to the Wyck quarter.
Built from the stone of a collapsed Roman crossing a little downstream, it has carried traffic across the Maas since the 1280s and now carries only people, which is the best thing that has happened to it. Crossing on foot is how the two halves of Maastricht connect: cafés and shops on the Wyck side, the churches and squares on the other. The northern span was rebuilt after 1944 as a bascule, so the join is visible if you look.

Insider tips

- →It is a crossing rather than a destination, so fold it into a walk instead of scheduling it.
