Stadswandeling Heerlen

Go on a journey of discovery through Heerlen

Take a walk through the city center and discover how Heerlen developed from a Roman settlement into the quirky and modern city it is today. During this walk you walk through the impressive Maankwartier, you discover the Roman Quarter, you see the traces of the medieval village of Landsfort Herle and the mining past. Be surprised by numerous large and small works of art along the route.

Heerlen, the beating heart of Parkstad Limburg. Or should we say Coriovallum? The history of Heerlen goes back to this Roman settlement around the year zero. Then a marketplace for agricultural products and pottery, now the heart of Parkstad Limburg, where there is always something new to discover. In the 20th century, the city derived its identity for a long time from the mining industry in the area. After the closure of the mines, Heerlen took a long time to regain its vibrant character. It is now a city of young and contemporary architecture, of urbanity and greenery. Artists leave their marks everywhere here. Go on a journey of discovery!
