Walking through Maaseik

This short route takes you through the city center of Maaseik in Belgian Limburg. A delicious walk as an aperitif or digestif. Enjoy yourself anyway, because Maaseik has a beautiful old center!

Van Eyck
The route starts at Tourism Maaseik. Here you will find plenty of information about this beautiful town and the beautiful surroundings. The route starts at the old market square, one of the most beautiful in Belgium. You will see many old buildings here, such as the beautiful eighteenth-century town hall. Some buildings still have a characteristic Maasland renaissance facade. There is also a statue of the Van Eyck brothers, fifteenth-century painters who were born in Maaseik, on the Markt. 

City wall
In Maaseik, the centuries-old street pattern from the time when the city was founded has been preserved. Just like on the Markt, time seems to have stood still in the Hepperstraat, what an atmosphere! There is also plenty of cultural history to experience in the pleasant shopping street. You pass, among other things, the baroque Kruisherenkerk from 1767. At the corner of the Prinsenhoflaan, walk up the steps to the chapel: the elevated path is part of the former city wall.
