Hello everyone,
I need to know something.
I would like to know if there is a bus from tilburg (nl) to turnhout (be/vl). How much does it cost ? How late does the bus travel?
Please respond asap because in two days I have to be there.
There is indeed a bus service. Line 450, run by the Flemish transportation company "De Lijn".
The bus runs every hour, at 55 minutes past the hour (with a few exceptions) on weekdays and saturdays, and every hour at 30 minutes past the hour on sundays.
The bus is not expensive, about 3 euro if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks a lot, Is three euro one way or two. Because Actually I am belgian. I know that it is one 1.70.
The website of "De Lijn" shows a price of 3 euro for a trip of three zones or more (which this is) when bought on board the bus. 1.70 is the price for a "jump" ticket in Brussels...
Your are right! Perfectto!!!! Thanks a lot.
I was fortunate to buy my tickets at the ticket window before hanging out with my friend. By the time I returned (around 10 pm) the ticket window had closed. I don't know if you could purchase tickets on board with a credit card (with possible surcharges?) so I was glad to buy in advance.
Tilburg Textile Museum. Visiting the University was nice but then a visit to a lovely Textile Museum was my favorite. I love crafting ... as many of you know. So I find it very interesting to see how cloth and items made of fabric are weaved into works of art. I even love the FEEL of fabric! I think Bill found the different machines used to be interesting also. We bought dish towels, fat quarters and tassels in the shop. I need more fabric and must go back. Some day soon, I will make my "Dutch" quilt!
Visit some of the many catholic churches, that date from the 19th or early 20th century. Often these buildings in neo-styles are fine examples of brick architecture. On the picture you can see the large church on the Heuvel, the city´s central square.
Some major events that happen every year. No exact dates available.
Meimarkt: in May. This day the whole centre is turned into a big fleamarket.
Tilburg Hap Stap Festival: end of May. The restaurants of Tilburg let you taste some of their stuff at one big festival. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Festival van het Levenslied: Early June. Festival dedicated to bad Dutch-language music ever. AVOID AT ALL COST!
Festival Mundial: June. Big cultural festival, mainly 'world music'. Several locations in the city. Big closing manifestation with international and nationally famous acts, as well as not so famous ones.
Tilburgse Kermis: July. Biggest funfair of the Netherlands. Monday is a big gay-tolerance event. If you hate big crowds of people you'd better not come on Monday.
Boeken rond het Paleis: Late August. Big open-air bookfair.
In February/March we celebrate Carnaval in Tilburg.
This starts at Friday with a "dweil-tocht". Lots of people hop from one bar to another and drink beer and "schrobbeler". Most people wear a costume, so during carnaval you can see elves, angles, devils, farmers, nurses, monsters, etc. etc.
On Saturday there is more beer-drinking and all sorts of festive activities.
On Sunday there is "d'n Opstoet". This is a parade of big wagons and dressed up people. Most jokes that are made in the parade can only be understand by locals. The phrases are usually in Tilburg-dialect.
Monday and Tuesday are also celebration-days, but on Wednesday the Carnaval is over. Usually this is celebrated with "haring happen": people eat the raw fish and flush it down with some more beer.
