There are nice playground equipment for climbing and scrambling. Or watch the birds of prey show, for example. As you can see, plenty of fun for young and old.

Trips

Cruise on the Binnendieze

A boat trip on the Binnendieze is a special experience. Like any city with canals and canals, a boat trip gives a completely different experience of such a city. This certainly applies to Den Bosch!

The fun but above all educational experience gives a special view of the city. The helmsmen and helmswomen know their trade and not only sail the route, but also tell the details. Boarding: Molenstraat: jetty opposite Molenstraat 15a – Voldersgat: Hoek Zuidwal – Oude Dieze.

St. Janskathedraal
‘s-Hertogenbosch

St. John's Cathedral is a must see when you visit Den Bosch. The Gothic church has double flying buttresses, decorated by almost a hundred flying buttress figures. The many stained glass windows in the church tell a clear story and very impressive are the tombstones you walk over and which you can sometimes read with great difficulty.

The serene tranquility in the church provides the opportunity for reflection. It is also possible to light a candle in many places in the church.

Experience St. John during the guided tours of the cathedral, the tower and the museum. In a few hours, the ancient history of this beautiful monument comes to life. You will find the Sint-Jan on the Parade in 's-Hertogenbosch.
