One of two cathedrals in the world that has these statues on the arches, the only one where the statues look up. If you are lucky and they have the roof open in summer, do it. It is truly a sight to behold. The interior is richly decorated and the windows are breathtaking. The entrance from the market has a window that has a panel dedicated to WWII, enter and look back and up. The Maria chapel is still heavily used, with various saints along the walls. Have a look at the wood engravings all along the sides.

We called into the VVV as we hadn't ever spent time in Den Bosch. The English speaking staff (thank you) were very welcoming and helpful. We came away with maps and brochures and information about local tours. We also bought a fantastic walking tour brochure we did ourselves -perfect as we could go at our own pace (i.e. kid pace)

Reviewed By Hermes_NL - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The city of Den Bosch or in full ‘s Hertogenbosch (The Duke’s Forest ... Bois-le-Duc or Bolduc) is one of the oldest in the Netherlands. It got city rights as early as 1184. In fact Neanderthalers already lived there 30000 years ago! The market is very central and very worthwhile to visit for shopping, sightseeing or relaxing at one of the many bars and and restaurants. Also there is a statue of Jeroen Bosch the famous painter, as well as his native house built in 1462, Sint Thoenis, now called “de kleine winst” (literally “the small profit”) which was a souvenir shop until recently and is now subject to archeological study.
