The Old Quarter, mapped

Start with the shape of the quarter: eight areas, arranged the way they really sit between the river, the citadel edge and the lake. The illustrated map is drawn for this site; the street locations listed below it are the verified coordinates this guide is built on, checked against OpenStreetMap.

An interactive map is being prepared for this page. Until it opens, the list below gives every pinned street with its coordinates, and each street page links out to directions.

Two streets are deliberately not pinned: their names repeat across the city and the map services return the wrong twin. They join this list when a location can be verified on foot.
