Historic Walk Through 's-Hertogenbosch

The meeting point is Central Station. From here, we set off on foot, and your guide will show you the Dragon's Fountain.
See the medieval city walls, then walk through the Uilenburg and admire the little river Binnendieze, which flows under the houses.
Continue to the market square, where you will find the medieval city government house, and just a few steps away, the house of Jheronimus Bosch. If you wish, you can visit it, but tickets must be purchased separately for EUR 10.00 per person.
Through one of the small streets, we make our way to the cathedral at Parade Square. This Gothic-style building is beautiful on the outside, but even more beautiful on the inside. You can light a candle in the Virgin Mary's chapel, and afterwards admire the dazzling coloured windows that tell the story of the Bible. This cathedral is truly breathtaking.
