Beyond Amsterdam: Den Bosch City Guide | Travel 's Hertogenbosch | Noord-Brabant Netherlands

This week we visit Den Bosch, capital of Northern Brabant (Noord-Brabant) in the Netherlands. It's the province I was born and raised, and I love it to be back :D Great place to visit the Netherlands off the beaten track

--------------------------------------
Places we visited.
Hotel: We stayed at Hotel Central, beautiful old building on the market square. Good room, friendly people and amazing breakfast!
Sweets:
Tum Tum Old Dutch Candystore - my favorite since I was a little kid
Zammateo - where you get some of the best Italian icecream you ever tasted
Bossche Bol - Jan de Groot. Duh, he is famous! The sweets in his shop seriously sell out, sometimes you have to order them. But they got them on many terraces.
Going for lunch: Korte Putstraat. Cute little street, also great at night!
St. Janskathedraal - amazing by day and beautiful by night.
NOTE 2016 is the year of Jeroen Bosch (Jeroen Boschjaar) since he died 500 years ago. Some special events are happening this period :)
--------------------------------------
CAMERA equipment I use
**Canon Powershot N100 - amzn.to/2aEbDZS (affiliate)
A budget option I loved very much for my first year of travel vlogging.
** Sony RX100 mk4 - amzn.to/2awvMyn (affiliate)
Oh my, how I love this new camera! Use this one from the Batanes series (Philippines II) onwards.
** GoPro HERO4 Silver - amzn.to/2aEpnqy (affiliate)
I mainly use this camera for under water shots. Love the little screen at the back so your shots will not be a surprise till you're at your computer
** Joby Gorilla Pod - amzn.to/2aIFsJd (affiliate)
Small and compact, will stable shots. Love this mini tripod. Especially when traveling alone it's a great help.

[@hotim-i-edem]

Beautiful city. I was there in 2005, and hope to visit it again some day.

[@adriyedi7692]

This was better than 100% of the shows I've seen on Nat Geo recently. Great production & narration. Jeroen Bosch's artwork is so interesting & bizarre. I like that their is a touch of him around the town. V cool

[@TravelGretl]

thanx so much!! 😀😀 yeah, I knew his work longer but never realised he was not some kind of 19th century painter :) So really started to appreciate his work more this trip!!!

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Wonderful video. Thanks.

[@TravelGretl]

Never too late - good you're in 😃

[@BestVideos01]

even i dont go there i always love holland and you show us how beautiful is thank you

[@TravelGretl]

Haha - it's close to my hometown :) So went there a lot. But also I have not seen so many good places . here in the Netherlands :D

[@CoughingPig]

Very good montage and entertainning my dear! Can't wait to come to NL for the first time next month with family (from Canada). 😀

[@MMKurdia]

The middle eastern music at 5:26 is amazing

[@bplatel]

Wat leuk, wij wonen sinds een jaar in Manila. Ik zocht een filmpje om mensen hier te laten zien waar we vandaan komen. Dit was de eerste hit! Bedankt Grietje!

[@TravelGretl]

Hi Bram, wat leuk!!! Sorry dat ik zo vreselijk laat reageer - ik ben veel drukker met de Videomakers dan met dit kanaal... Maar heel leuk om je comment hier zo als een hidden gem te vinden :D

[@bixaorellana8165]

Another stellar video, Gretl! You are making me really excited about my trip to the Netherlands. Thanks!

[@TravelGretl]

:D

[@Reformatt]

geweldige gids! ik heb altijd al een keertje naar Den Bosch willen afreizen, goed werk Grietje

[@TravelGretl]

+Reformatt Show Hi 😀😀 De man van de supervette Amsterdam Video! Onder andere natuurlijk 😊 Wat leuk Ben je weer in Amsterdam? Er zijn niet zo veel travel focussed KZbinrs in NL - heb je zin om ns koffie te drinken? Lijkt me leuk je te ontmoeten!

[@Melandjona]

Wow, that church reminds me of Salisbury Cathedral in the U.K. Absolutely love the artwork around the city too. Especially some of those random sculptures. Mel now wants to visit - mainly for Tum Tum, haha.

[@TravelGretl]

Hahahaha, Tum Tum is the place where the child inside will be excited from morning till evening! I literally saw multiple children get dragged out of the place by their parents. 'BUT I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE' Hahaha, I felt the same ;)

[@LookWhosBlogging]

i love the art!!! also like the gargoyles in the building, so gothic looking!! and the art show at the end is so cool!! i wanna go there!

[@TravelGretl]

😀😀 they really made an effort for Jeroen Bosch dying - but in general it is a lively city. always when you get there on a saturday, something is going on 😊😊😊

[@Samplesurfer]

The gargoyles don't just look gothic, they are the real deal from that age. :-)

[@Rogier7305]

What a beautiful clip you made !

[@ItsHollyDayz]

Beautiful architecture. Yummy gelato and that cake thing looked delicious.

[@TravelGretl]

:D

[@kagandahanjack]

I will travel next month to Netherlands, can't wait. Thank you Gretl !

[@WhatDoesntSuck]

Wow, really nice job with this one and makes us even more excited to hopefully make Holland our new home one day soon!

[@TravelGretl]

😀😀😀😀 cool!

[@sutats]

Great work!

[@polinakocheva3148]

This is making me nostalgic... I used to live in the Netherlands for 3 years :) I must have missed the Bosche Bol!! GOtta go back to try that. Gezelligheid!

[@TravelGretl]

😀😀 where did you live??

[@polinakocheva3148]

1 year in Utrecht (my fav city in NL!) and 2 years in Enschede :)

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊

[@JohnnyJammerizer]

Thank you helping to remind me of how beautiful Den Bosch actually is. Left the Netherlands 18 years ago and going to visit this year. Cant wait to visit my home town once again after all these years!

[@meowthindegame8127]

Thank you for visiting Our city of Den Bosch!😊😊

[@TravelGretl]

+Meowth In de game 😁😀 als Brabander kom ik altijd graag terug in eigen provincie 😊😊

[@3066961]

DB is my fav too, i love the beaches and nature there tooooooooooooo

[@TravelGretl]

Beaches? I've not found them yet :D

[@AeroFanHD]

Awesome report for a fantastic city.Thank you

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx :D

[@stageiiwappie950]

Never knew this city was so beautiful. I think it takes the nr1 spot in the province, then nr2 must be Breda. Not sure both are amazing

[@evancortez2]

I would love to go back to the Netherlands! What a beautiful city!

[@TravelGretl]

:D :D It is :) And I kind of was surprised how few tourists you find here. Considered it's 1 hour from Amsterdam only, but people were looking so strange at me filming everything... they're just not surrounded by filming and photographing people like we're in Amsterdam ;)

[@SomedayMaybe]

Everything seems so close in Holland... Just hop on a train and go for an hour, here you are :) I love the tum tum place... Looks awesome! Bossche Bol??? Ridiculously heavenly! I would go for it.

[@TravelGretl]

It is! That's why it is so sad many people only think about Amsterdam when they hear the Netherlands - and don't really spread across the country. People actually really don't have an idea of what they're missing out on :)

[@SomedayMaybe]

I guess that's true. We really have to take some time to explore Holland :)

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊😊

[@termiyaya]

This is amazing about the paintings and the light show. The video made me wanna to visit the city soon!

[@TravelGretl]

😊😊😊

[@termiyaya]

Hello, I went to Den Bosch this weekend. Unfortunately, that most famous paining has already been transferred back to Spain. So we can only saw the fake one in the art center. But it was still fun! We also caught up with the light show, that is really fantastic! It is a nice city! Thanks for the video.

[@termiyaya]

By the way, do you know where is this painting exactly? Really want to see the real one. :)

[@TravelGretl]

I think most of them in Spain :) Not in the Netherlands anyways ;)

[@retrogazele]

I love your videos..just like in england as soon as you leave the big crouwded cities you can see some magical places

[@TravelGretl]

thank you!!! yes, very true :) and since not many tourists seem to do so it's really off the beaten track 😁😀

[@BeastBrawlGamer]

maak eens een video van de mooie landschappen van limburg en de gezelligheid daar, en van bijvoorbeeld het centrum van Maastricht, Weert, of Venlo.

[@travellingeverard4326]

Great video. Will be doing a 2 week tour of the Netherlands in 2022 for my KZbin channel. Will definitely be visiting Den Bosch.

[@bjornuhss-private6676]

Thanks for this video. Can't believe I'm watching this the last day and just found out from your video this is the city of incredible dark surrealist Hieronymos Bosch. Need to come back to go to the exhibition.

[@TravelGretl]

+Björn Ühss oh no!!! He is all through the city with his art really... but all the extra's that were there for his celebration year - you didn't miss :)

[@tosht2515]

Lovely city and wonderful video as usual. I want to try a Bossche Bol. 😀 👍

[@TravelGretl]

😀😀 you profile pic shows the sweet love already 😉😉

[@tosht2515]

Wherever I am in the world, the perfect travel break is coffee and cake..with wifi. 🤔😀

[@TravelGretl]

Hahaha, the subtile difference between 'free wifi' and 'wifi free' ;)

[@eulucasferreira]

Passei dois meses nesse lugar! Saudades

[@iAmMsBiancaYu]

i love to go there sometime!! looks so awesome!

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx :D

[@JoanJetsetter]

The art projections on the building facades remind me of the Singapore Night Festival. Similar concept...free to the public.

[@TravelGretl]

cool! sounds good 😊😊

[@theflaggirl3034]

that candy shop .......yummmm....I am your biggest fan

[@TravelGretl]

Thanx so much!! 😀😀 yeah, the candyshop is child and adult heaven 😊😊

[@groovy_pat]

Cool! Supergoed gedaan zeg, prachtig visueel vastgelegd ook!

[@TravelGretl]

Dank :)

[@BAdventures]

Great new Netherlands video. You blended the shots with different music really well. Gosh the pastries looked good =)

[@TravelGretl]

Hahaha, it is :D But after that you can't help but feeling a bit sick ;) It's SO MUCH SWEETNESS :D

[@jessicalokker4990]

Wat leuk dat je in mijn hometown bent geweest en wat een fijne video! Gezelligheid is inderdaad lastig te vertalen, ik probeerde het laatst ook al aan een buitenlandse vriend uit te leggen, maar het is meer iets dat je moet ervaren :p

[@TravelGretl]

😀😀😀 inderdaad! Typisch wel dat er geen vertaling voor is....

[@arnolucasnl]

Leuk dat Den Bosch goed gepromoot wordt. Alleen is een (groot) deel van de video niet meer kloppend. Zo kan je de Sint-Jan niet meer op en is de 'Bosch by Night' al lang niet meer te zien...

[@TravelGretl]

Hi Arno! Dat kan zeker kloppen :) Dat houd je met video's die langer op KZbin staan. Op naar meer video's over Den Bosch om het plaatje compleet te houden :D

[@tiphaineluccy3795]

Great work! Thanks heaps for this. :D

[@omzldn6472]

Its iconic that this city has the most futuristic infrastructure in the world

[@RobsQuest]

Looks beautiful! Actually never heard of Den Bosch .. Would love to visit it someday! The gigantic chocolate balls are exactly what I need right now! :)

[@TravelGretl]

haha, the gigantic chocolate balls are the best thing ever, and they always make you feel so bad afterwards ;) ;)

Great travel video! subbed and liked:)

[@TravelGretl]

😀😁😊 cool!! Welcome on the journey, and thanx 4 following 😀😀

[@JesperBlackOfficial]

Ha! I worked here for a while, so much fun seeing it through your lens. The netherlands can be so beautiful..! Can you send some of the Bosche Bollen direction Bcn? ;)

[@TravelGretl]

Cool :D Hahahaha, I would so much love too, but I am not willing to imagine how they'd look after sending them! ;) That would be a very cool unboxing video though - you should do that! Unsendable things being send and then opening them. I would love to see how it ended up - and if you're going to eat it after :D

[@FeelGoodLostTRAVEL]

Yessss! Love these type of videos! Love your shots! I can't wait to visit Amsterdam some day! :)

Euh..... you did watch the video right? It's about Den Bosch... not Amsterdam..?

Haha you stole my intro song from my last video, LOL! Well everyone uses that Joakim Karud guy, thanks to Casey Neistat. Central Amsterdam is so commercialized, I'd love to visit your birthplace!

[@TravelGretl]

Whahahaha, I did not know :) Yeah, it's true, he's CC famous! Oh, I thought it was thanks to one of the big CC distributors on Soundcloud and KZbin :) It is true!!! Amsterdam is overcrowded and becoming Disneyland. Though I love the city, don't get me wrong :) Den Bosch is very closeby and everyone was looking so surprised when I was filming. Oh yes, I realized, they're not used to tourists here ;)

[@Joris_Music_Productions]

Ohhh jaa was ook cool om te doen!!😃...wij zijn toen ook met een bootje🚤 wezen varen rond en onder de stad door, was apart sfeertje zo!🙂🙂en daarna nog het centrum in geweest, was gezellig overal, effe gezellig 'n terrasje pikken🙂 en natuurlijk een "Bosche Bol" eten he👍🏼😉😎mag niet ontbreken als je in Den Bosch komt he👍🏼😉😎...en "gezelligheid"..dat Zekersss!👍🏼😎😎

Is better than Eindhoven or Tilburg ?

[@ayrton56612]

Way better. Those two are ugly cities. This one is pretty.

[@guuslombarts9004]

If you like historical sites then yes. However, Eindhoven and especially Tilburg have great cultural festivals and more modernistic and brutalist architecture.

Wat jammer dat je continu de naam Den Bosch gebruikt, terwijl de formele naam toch echt 's-Hertogenbosch is, hiervoor is zelfs een stichting.

[@TravelGretl]

In de spreektaal toch vaak den bosch genoemd? Dat gaat naar den bosch toe 😉 Net als dat t in Uje en Uden allebei goed kerse eten is - geloof k ook wel dat er meerdere wegen naar den bosch kunnen leiden 😊😊

[@marcelschellekens6386]

daarbij is de naam den bosch ouder dan 's-Hertogenbosch

[@frankhooper7871]

I've bought Bossche bolle in Amsterdam and they're _OK_ but Bossche bolle from 's-Hertogenbosch are way better!

Nice video and great guiding i want to know how's the rent over there in general is it expensive or not and thank you

[@TravelGretl]

Oef, hard question. What is expensive? It's cheaper than Amsterdam I am sure, but Amsterdam is insanely expensive. Would find it hard to name a concrete price really - I never lived in Den Bosch

[@1Mohvmed]
