Nederlandse Spoorwegen – Buy train tickets
We are already familiar with the city so we wanted to try something new: escape the city. This escape room is played on your phone after booking. You can start at any moment you like and have 2 hours to escape. You can pause the game once and after 2...
Stadswandeling Den Bosch | Dirck en de zwaan
A must-see when you're in Den Bosch, the Cathedral. Run by volunteers and donations. Inside is impressive, it's huge and gorgeous. You can light a candle for your loved ones and one's in a while the organ pipe will play. The construction is going on ...
St John's Cathedral

Bolwerk
Shop 'til you drop! This was a shopping center nearby where we had a break. A lot of stores in one place. Next we explored the city a bit more and the different stores it had to offer.
Arena
The Market in the middle of the city, we had to shop here for our snacks. The market is on Wednesday and Saturday. On Friday it's all organic.
De Bossche Markt in s-Hertogenbosch
Yummy yummy in my tummy. Great food, good prices and cozy atmosphere. A lot of food to choose from, also vegetarian options. For starters I had the carpaccio (anytime there is carpaccio, I have to have it) and for my main I had the surf and turf. AM...
Picasso Restaurant
Small cozy hotel, ideal for a 1-night stay. Because we are only sleeping here we choose the Little Room. It was indeed little, but enough for the two of us. There is no reception, you check in on a computer. There is also no elevator! Good bed, nothi...
Little Duke Hotel
As I mentioned before, when in Den Bosch you have to eat de Bossche Bol, a sweet puff pastry filled with whipped cream and coated in dark chocolate 😍This is the official store. They also have other pastries, equally as delicious. Don't miss this!
