This old bridge is the walking connection between the residential and shopping district of Wyck and the Maastricht center. You have a beautiful view over both banks of the Maas. Artists can regularly be found on the bridge playing music or creating paintings. Parking nearby in various paid parking garages, the nearest within walking distance is the ' Onze Lieve Vrouwe ' car park of Q-park. There are several charging points for e-cars here.

A wonderful old historical bridge in Maastricht, from the 12th century I believe. It was a shame the Nazi’s blew up a section at the end of WWII to prevent it being used to cross the river Meuse by allied forces. Fortunately, they rebuilt the new section so ships can nu be accommodated down the river, as there was no way for them to get past the old medieval bridge in its original state.

The Sint Servaasbrug is a stone-arch bridge comprising 7 arches and a separate steel drawbridge that spans across the Meuse River. Named after St Servatius, the first bishop of Maastricht, this is just one of the few iconic landmarks in the city named after this patron saint of Maastricht. A statue of the saint can also be found on the bridge, but you would need an eagle eye to spot it! You will surely cross this cyclist cum pedestrian bridge as you walk from the central train station to the mazy shopping streets of Binnenstad in the city centre. Dating back to the 13th century, it has often been regarded as the oldest surviving bridge in the Netherlands, although it was largely rebuilt after World War II. The walk across this “ancient” bridge is indeed delightful, and the views of the Meuse River, the lovely buildings lining it and the boats cruising beneath it - are even more captivating!

This is a beautiful old stone bridge that allows you to cross the Maas river. It’s pedestrian and bicycles only.
Part of the bridge had to be destroyed and rebuild taller in order to let commercial shipping through.

In my opinion, there are two aspects here: the bridge itself is worth visiting due to its historical importance, but also the views of Maastricht and the river from the bridge make it worthwhile.

This is just a bridge one of two walking bridges that cross the Maas River. The most interesting thing about this bridge is the drawbridge portion that raises vertically when tall boats come through. As the bridge rises the metal sidewalks raise to a steep angle but you can still use them.

This bridge is the main connection between the two parts of the city on either side of the river. It is curious for being a bridge that elevates when boats need to pass underneath, yet, it still allows for pedestrians to cross even when elevated. A curious bridge built over an ancient waterway.

In the historical center of Maastricht you will find the Saint Servaas Bridge connecting the 2 sides of the city.
This bridge has been around for several hundred years (built in the 13th century)- modernized and refurbished through the centuries. Today it has a built in section that can be tilted so the large ships navigating on the Maas can go past it. Don't worry there is a loud alarm when they open the bridge so you have time to move from the tilted section.
It is a pedestrian area - where bicycles are also allowed but you don't really have to worry about the cars when you are on the bridge.
On one side of the bridge you can also find a small souvenir shop - if you need some memorabilia.... I recommend you include the bridge in your tour of Maastricht.

One of the many bridges crossing the Maas river in Maastricht. Two of the ancient arches were removed to create a higher bridge to allow for bigger boats to navigate under. This is now mainly a pedestrian and cycle bridge. It is worth crossing to try the cafes on both sides.

This bridge links two sides of Masstrict together over its namesake river. Crossing over the bridge with its scenic view of the Maas and the city with its lovely architecture is always a welcome treat between store visits and chores in the city.
