About Tilburg

Tilburg is a cozy Brabant city where you can enjoy culture, good food and a variety of shopping. In addition, Tilburg is known for its annual, 10-day fair that is a big draw every time.

The city became big in the late 19th century because of the textile industry that settled among the redwoods. In 1871, the city had as many as 125 wool fabric factories. Tilburg was therefore called the wool city. In the late 19th century, numerous mansions were built that can still be found in the city.

In addition, Tilburg is rich in greenery and waters. Of the waters, the Wilhelmina Canal with Piushaven should be mentioned. Tilburg also has many parks. All three of the best-known city parks were designed by landscape architect Leonard Springer: the Wilhelminapark from 1895, the Wandelbos from 1920 and the Leijpark from 1935.

Furthermore, the city has important attractions. Thus, right in the center you will find The Palace of King William II, a city palace in Catholic-neo-Gothic style. It is also home to The Heike Church, The Hill and The Lanciers Barracks.

But Tilburg is also rich in extraordinary cultural offerings. The big draw is the TextielMuseum. Here you will discover all about the past and present of the textile industry. At the Tilburg City Museum, you can take a look at Vincent van Gogh’s Drawing Room where he received his first drawing lessons as a 13-year-old boy. You will also find the largest pop venue in the south in Tilburg; pop center 013. This building has a striking appearance because of its rounded shapes which looks like hundreds of CDs stuck on the building.
