  • Efteling, a theme park, is close to Tilburg. It's the largest among the Benelux countries, and it's comparable with Tivoli Gardens (Copenhagen) and Disneyland Resort (Paris).
  • Gipsyfestival - end of may - http://www.gipsyfestival.nl
  • Statue of Willem II (d. 1849)
  • City Hall (Paleis raadhuis)

Tilburg is connected to the rest of the country by a twice an hour Intercity service, bound to both Eindhoven - Venlo and Breda - Rotterdam - The Hague.

Since Tilburg has a University with several undergraduate and graduate schools, this college town boasts lots of places where people congregate for a drink.

For example:

Most out and about places are in and around the city center, in three areas, all of them within one kilometer radius:

  • Heuvel and Heuvelring, with the city's most discos and some restaurants.
  • Korte Heuvel, which is a small street, packed with nice and cosy cafés. This place is my personal favorite.
  • Piusplein -- a residential area with one McDonald's and several cafés and restaurants.
