Tilburg is a great city in province of Noord-Brabant. The people of Tilburg are very proud of their city, you'll excperience it all the time. In the summer time many festivals they make, there is no week without you can find something, even is a barbecue party or a concert.

Practical city, not a beautiful one. Some hidden gems. You have to know your way around. Nice museums if you love those. Great bear brewery, just outside of the city and with the Drunense Duinen amazing nature. In the center you can walk everywhere. If you're into health food, stop by at Pleiade; spiritual shop and the place for healthy food. Try out the raw chocolate cake. Night live happens on Thursday (students) and Saturday (locals). Bars enough.

Loved how it has the old buildings here & there, yet surrounded by new buildings & modern shops. People in general were extremely welcoming, friendly, and helpful every where we went. We only spent a day there, but we will go back to spend a bit more time and see more of the city.

Tilburg is a lovely yet sometimes overlooked Dutch city. Public transportation is easy to figure out, but I recommend renting a bike to take as much of the city in as possible. Dudok (although a 'chain') is great for breakfast/brunch/lunch; 013 is a great venue for live music.

Tilburg is a relatively small town but with a large university. It punches well above its weight in terms of culture, events, restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. We go there every year for the internationally-famous Roadburn Festival at 013 and other clubs in the town and we always feel at home, welcomed by the locals. We always discover new places that we hadn't found on previous trips. One interesting feature of Tilburg is that a lot of houses in the old town were once occupied by tradesmen, merchants and craftsmen with a shop on the ground floor and the people living in these houses now seem to compete to fill their large shop windows with quirky displays of personal items, artworks, collections, etc. -just wandering the streets is an endless series of surprises. Amongst these private residences there are also many boutique bookshops, record shops, clothes shops, antique shops, bicycle shops (of course!) cafes, bars, restaurants and galleries. We recommend "Sounds" and "Diggers" for records and CD's (new and vintage) and El Caso for pizza / pasta / calzone. Taxi Korthout for taxi travel when needed. Trains and buses are many and frequent, fast and punctual.

I was born in this city that still has great architecture ( theatre, station, the palace) and cultural treasures galore in the churches that are still there It has become really fabulous for shopping as well. I was there just before christmas that made up for a lot because the decorations and christmas stables were stunning as always and really enjoyable. The many pictures taken were definitely worth sharing through whatsapp and send all over the world with a little pride But overall people are not welcoming or helpful , though there are always exceptions , so nothing changed much there There is a great lack of budget accomodation in this town
