Walk of the Town

The Walk of the Town is over 7 kilometers long and consists of two loops; the upper city and lower city. Both loops come together at the market square. There is no official start or end, you can just begin walking when you see the line. You can do it in one day, or take the whole week, it’s up to you!

For the elderly and people with a physical disability

Walk of the Town is also accessible for the elderly and people with a physical disability. There are stairs at three locations: 

• The extra loop around St Steven’s Church (Sint Stevenskerk) (see number 1). You can skip these steps and continue to follow the line via Stikke Hezelstraat. The church is accessible via Grote Markt square (see number 3).
• Between Koningsplein square and Marikenstraat (see number 9). To avoid stairs, proceed directly from Koningsplein square to Marikenstraat or vice versa and use the escalator or elevator on Marikenstraat that connects to the upper level.
• Behind the archway of arthouse LUX (number 28), you need to ascend or descend a few steps. These can be avoided by using the ramp on the left side of the building if you enter from the van Broeckhuysenstraat (or on the right side if you enter from Marikenstraat).

Voerweg street (see number 14) is very steep. To avoid making this climb, you can skip this loop and proceed directly from number 27 to 21 (or vice versa) by taking the elevator at the Veerpoort stairs (see number 21).
