Den Bosch Travel Guide

Historically Den Bosch is one of the most important towns of the south of the Netherlands. In the Middle Ages it was a major religious and political centre but after the reformation it lost some of its economic importance to the cities in Holland.

The Cathedral is one of the main attractions of the city. The area around the cathedral has many old houses and small streets lined with shops, restaurants and bars. This is the best area to spend your time.

Besides the Cathedral Den Bosch (also called ‘s-Hertogenbosch) has its Binnendieze. Formerly this was a sewer, but now people can go downstream in small boats to get a sight of the old centre of Den Bosch. The former sewer gives you a unique view of Den Bosch. It’s possible to sail through the old centre and even under houses.  The pick-up point is at the Uilenburg. A 5-minute walk from the cathedral.
