Visit the Jeker quarter
-
Feel like you're in the south of France
Those who live and work here say that you don't really need to explain where the Jeker quarter is: once you're there, you'll know.
This is where the locals amble along the streets, students lounge in the park behind their books, and you can spend a whole Sunday on a café terrace and never get bored. And if you're really lucky, there's also a jazz band performing around the corner! The Jeker quarter is nestled between the old city walls and centuries-old houses.
