's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch)
In Your Pocket
By the time you read these words spring should be in full swing. You’ll find a compelling city with a lively restaurant scene, wild nightlife and a vibrant cultural calendar. ‘s-Hertogenbosch is also a city that loves titles. Den Bosch also received the honourable title of Capital of the Palate in 2010. In addition to this, ‘s-Hertogenbosch was also awarded such exalted accolades as the Sporting Community of the Year, Bets Fortified City and Most Green City. The third guide to the Best City in the Netherlands (according to the Dutch) is full of independent reviews of restaurants, pubs, hotels and museums. Once again our writers worked overtime to try new places to eat and drink. The Dutch government may try everything within its power via austerity policies to destroy the cultural sector, but thankfully there’s still enough to see and do in Den Bosch. See Culture & Events theatre, music, dance and stand-up comedy. We try our best to provide accurate information and our experiences may differ from yours so if you feel like we're way off the mark, please let us know. We welcome all correspondence, as long as it’s directed to denbosch@inyourpocket.com. Enjoy.Our s-Hertogenbosch Highlights
