Where the past meets the present
Want to wander through the streets of ’s-Hertogenbosch on your own? You can! But with an expert guide, you’ll see so much more. Discover the city’s most beautiful alleys, monuments, and hidden stories.
A walk full of history
Why are there poems on the facades? Who made the bronze manhole covers? And who was Zoete Lieve Gerritje? The guide from Kring Vrienden van ’s-Hertogenbosch takes you past historical highlights such as the city hall or the Zwanenbroedershuis, and upon request, also past the impressive St. John’s Cathedral. Depending on the starting point and the route, you’ll discover different gems of the city every time – even those you wouldn’t easily find yourself.
