Discover Tilburg

Tilburg is a city with two faces: a rich historical past and a modern, contemporary appearance. Although the city underwent major renewal in the 1970s, there are still plenty of historical sights to discover. Tilburg surprises with culture, shopping, and Brabant hospitality, making it an ideal destination for a versatile city trip.

Churches, heritage, and Trappist beer

Tilburg has a strong Catholic past, which is visible in its many impressive churches. The Goirkese Church from 1724, dedicated to Saint Dionysius, is one of the oldest churches in the city and was further embellished during the Napoleonic era. The Waterstaatskerk from 1835 is also special; this church has an early neo-Gothic style and is among the first in the Netherlands.

Just outside of Tilburg, in Berkel-Enschot, lies the Abbey of Koningshoeven. Here, monks brew the well-known La Trappe Trappist beer. A tour with a tasting is a popular and flavorful addition to your visit to the region.

Shopping in Tilburg

For shopping enthusiasts, Tilburg offers plenty of options. De Heuvel and the Pieter Vreedeplein are well-known shopping areas with a mix of major chains and fashion stores. Prefer something unique? Then explore the charming wander area around the center, with special boutiques in streets like Noordstraat, Nieuwlandstraat, and Tuinstraat.

Additionally, you can shop indoors at the Emmapassage, on the Schouwburgpromenade, and in De Heuvelpoort, where specialty stores and well-known shops come together.
