Wyck

Getting around: Wyck sits on the eastern bank of the Maas, directly across from Maastricht's historic center via the Sint Servaasbrug bridge, a 5-10 minute walk from the Markt.
Hours: Open at all times as a neighborhood; individual shops and restaurants keep their own daytime and evening hours.

Wyck is a former working-class riverside district that has become one of Maastricht's more fashionable neighborhoods, known for independent boutiques, design shops, and a denser concentration of restaurants than the more tourist-heavy old center across the river. It shares its area loosely with the newer Céramique district and the Bonnefantenmuseum, giving the riverside a mix of historic streets and modern architecture.

It's best explored on foot as a change of pace from the historic core, particularly Rechtstraat, its main shopping and dining street, and it offers a good vantage point looking back across the Maas toward the older city.
