The free parking is sparse (and if you're with a Dutchman) they don't like to pay...lololol!
In a nutshell
Give in to the Temptations, drop by and see them!
17 Reviews Den Bosch is circled by typical Dutch canals and the boat tours of the canals are operated in small boats powered by a small motor that take about 16 people. There is a choice of two trips - one takes 40 minutes and one takes over one hour - we chose the shorter journey and the cost was €6. Tickets...
19 Reviews a beautifull Cathedral with a great organ in the center of Den Bosch, certainly worth a visit! they have a wonderfull Mariachapel where people can sit down to meditate, burn candles On the floor you can see very old beautifull gravestones more info on their website
4 Reviews "Oh no, not another church!" Well, yes, after all you're on one of my pages, and I happen to like churches. Officially the St. Jacobus is no longer a church, though. And because it's a protected monument the 's-Hertogenbosch diocese can't have it demolished. Not that I insinuate that they wanted to,...
ultchuk Says: Ten years after Den Bosch was besieged and taken by Prince of Orange, Frederik Hendrik, 'De Citadel' was built so the city could be defended against future invaders. In the 60s and 70s the building was worn out and ready for demolishment. Restauration of the building took...

The Doner Company: A Nibble On The Hoof #2
johngayton Says: Although doner kebabs are almost a tradition in Dutch towns this is a relatively new company to the fast food scene with outlets at most major railway stations. As kebabs go these are almost healthy-eating compared to many, being relatively unfatty and the accompanying...
Herring Stall On The Market: A Nibble On The Hoof #1
johngayton Says: I can never pass a new herring stall here in the Netherlands without buying one, whether I'm hungry or not. There's something soul-satisfying about such a healthy nibble and the herring here from this stall on Den Bosch's market was a good as any. Plump fleshy...
De Graven van Leuven: Great local bar with english speaking staff!
sfigato Says: A great bar with staff that speaks very good english! They had enough beers on draft and there was spots on the big screens. I had lunch and it was great, large portions and cheap! thats how we like it! there was no dresscode
tvdm Says: The town's most amazing party venue. This one put Den Bosch on the map a few years ago because it's one of the most amazing places in the country to go out! De Orangerie is located in an old gothic church and now hosts parties, including clubnights.Every 2nd Friday of the...
johngayton Says: The s'Hertogenbosch (to give it it's proper name) railway station is one of the main junctions in this part of the Netherlands. From here trains go north to Utrecht, south to Maastricht (via Eindhoven), east to Breda and west to Nijmegen (and on to Arnhem).The station is...

Den Bosch Main Market: Despite The Football
johngayton Says: Even despite the football (it was the afternoon of the Netherlands v Brazil 2010 World Cup quarter-final) the city's street market was still doing a bit of trade. Admittedly it seemed to be mostly young women, old girls and hen-pecked husbands, but it gives the impression...
La Porta Shoes: A fortunate misfortune
ATLC Says: A small shoe shop with exclusive shoes, on the way to the train station. Very helpful people.I'm not really a shopping person, though I like to look. But on our visit to Den Bosch, the zipper of my boot broke which was a silly sight. After the Den Bosch visit I was to travel...
catnl Says: Den Bosch is famous for its cafe's, its boulevards and special streets like the one of the picture...this street was nominated as the best terracestreet in the Netherlands 2001.OWhen you open the url you will find great info about pubs etc.
Nathalie_B Says: Every Wednesday and Saturday there is huge market where you can find everything from food to clothes. Children can enjoy the animals' corner, which is very nicely designed. When my friend and I approached the flamingos this nasty goose (see the picture) flew over the fence...
Don't Expect To Get Served When The Football's On!
johngayton Says: When I arrived, in the middle of the Netherlands v Brazil 2010 World Cup quarter-final, the city was a bit of a ghost town. Everybody was jam-packed in the bars and hardly anyone out on the streets. The market traders had even brought their own televisions with them and...

Nathalie_B Says: Wandering around and enjoying the city I accidently found this little "tunnel". This is the entrance to one of many backyards. Shorty me could easily walk there, but I was wondering how, usually very tall, Dutch people walk there to get to their houses? ;-)Look for the...
bonio Says: Saw there was a football match to go to, went along to the stadium early, no tickets sold on matchdays, unless you have a membership card, ho hum, back to the bar.Shame, the team currently bottom of the league could have used my support I'm sure. For the record Vitesse...
johngayton Says: The local tourist information office here in s'Hertogenbosch is situated in one of the city's oldest brick buildings just off the market square.Here you can get all the advice you need regarding things to do, public transport, assistance with accommodation and the usual...

On the old VT you couldn't make a page about this great city. Thankfully, that has been remedied now, and it was about time too. With plenty of silly entries like Europoort you can at least expect to...
