City break Tilburg

For many, Tilburg is not the first city that comes to mind for a city break in the Netherlands. Yet a visit to Tilburg is more than worthwhile! Tilburg is the sixth largest city in the Netherlands in terms of population, but at the same time it is a compact city where Brabant cosiness comes first. The city is developing rapidly and has a lot to offer. We would like to take you through some of the reasons to book a city trip to Tilburg.

Hotspot 1: the Spoorzone

Be surprised by all the beauty the Railway zone has to offer you. The Spoorzone is an area in Tilburg, located behind central station. And this area is in full development! Among other things, the Lochal, World Building of the Year 2019, located in the Spoorzone. Be surprised by this imposing building where learning, business and meeting come together. In addition, a visit to the Hall of Fame also definitely worth a visit. Visiting Tilburg with children? Then pay a visit to Discovery Station013. Train parts used to be made in this hall. Now children can get to work making these parts themselves!

Hotspot 2: the Wandering Area

Wander past the various studios of quirky and creative entrepreneurs. In the Wanderlust you will find beautiful townhouses and several bustling catering and niche businesses. You will find the Dwaalgebied in the extension of Heuvelstraat (shopping street). This is the bustling heart of Tilburg. Look around you too: on several buildings you will find quirky sayings by creative people.

Hotspot 3: the Piushaven
