Tilburg In Your Pocket

Netherlands In Your Pocket celebrates its second anniversary this year. In this fourth edition of Tilburg In Your Pocket we offer a varied and colourful range of independent reviews written by our own researchers. Once again, they’ve worked overtime to visit every single restaurant, bar, hotel, theatre, museum and pub to bring you unbiased information. And while the Dutch government may no longer support cultural life in Holland, the city of Tilburg clearly values this essential part of everyday life. Read our Culture & Events pages to find the perfect concert or festival for you.

By the time you read these words, fall or winter will be in full swing. But don’t fear the cold or rain because this city always pulsating with life and you can sense it on every corner and on every square. The thousands of local and international students that call this university town home only enhance this feeling by making a nightlife scene you won’t want to miss. Any visitor will also discover vibrant restaurants, an impressive calendar of cultural events that includes concerts and art exhibitions and a hip air of freedom and vitality.

A lot has happened since the first Dutch issue of In Your Pocket hit newsstands two years ago. During this time we’ve expanded and covered even more cities in the Netherlands. ’s-Hertogenbosch was first, followed soon after by Utrecht, while Amsterdam and Tilburg made their debut in 2011. Although some of these cities may seem like surprising choices to some readers, it’s In Your Pocket’s aim to be your personal guide to Holland’s undiscovered gems. Our quest continues in 2013, so look out for more In Your Pocket city guides in the Netherlands. For now, explore Tilburg and enjoy!
