The Sint Servaas Bridge connects the old heart of Maastricht on the west bank of the Meuse to the Wyck district on the east. The current structure, with its nine arches, was largely rebuilt in the 15th century and has been in continuous use as the city's main river crossing ever since. Walk it early in the morning before the tourists arrive, or at dusk when the light on the Meuse is best.
From the bridge, looking upstream (south), you can see the Sint Pietersberg hill rising above the city — a view that makes Maastricht's unusual geography immediately clear. The bridge is pedestrianised; cyclists must use the adjacent Hoge Brug to the south.
