Wandering Grounds

Near the Heuvelpoort car park, you’ll find a delightful area to wander through, featuring historic buildings and contemporary shops. Lose track of time as you wander through and get lost in the narrow streets, discovering stately buildings and charming little shops.

From the heart of the city centre, the Vijfsprong is the best starting point for exploring the area. A distinctive spot where Noordstraat, Korte Schijfstraat, Nieuwlandstraat, Tuinstraat and Stationsstraat meet. These five streets also form the highlights of your exploration of the area. At the point where these streets converge, they already offer a glimpse of all the beauty they have to offer.
Saving energy at De Spaarbank
The stately building on the corner of the Vijfsprong is now home to the city café De Spaarbank, named after the function this listed building once served. The lettering, a reminder of its rich past, still clearly reflects its former status. ‘Vereenigde Tilburgsche Spaarbank’ can be read high up on the façade. These days, you can pop in for coffee, lunch or dinner. Discover the authentic features of the interior that have been preserved, or relax in the garden, which is a lovely place to be in both summer and winter.
Look up!
Will you head down Noordstraat next, or begin your exploration in Nieuwlandstraat? Whichever way you go, wonder and surprises are guaranteed either way. Look ahead and, above all, look up; you’ll be amazed by the beautiful façades that dot this area. In these atmospheric streets of Tilburg’s city centre, old and new come together. It feels urban, whilst at the same time a sense of tranquillity washes over you.
Strolling and getting lost
You’ll come across the best eateries and specialist shops as you wander through the area. How about, for example, De Burgerij, where you can literally taste what the good life has to offer? Or a little further on: the Kaaszaak or Kees van Hest, a butcher’s shop straight out of a picture book from days gone by. The barber’s and the distinctive vintage clothes shop, Sam-Sam, also fit perfectly into these unique buildings and streets.

Next, venture down the side streets in the area and discover even more gems. Such as the NWE Vorst music venue, where artists and audiences come together in a hub for young talent. Or the Kandinsky beer café, where you can choose from no fewer than 200 types of beer from all corners of the globe. The recently renovated Cinecitta cinema, lovingly restored to its former glory, is also well worth a visit. Meanwhile, you’ll come across toy and bookshops where time seems to stand still, you can settle down in quirky coffee shops or lunch spots, or sneak a peek through the stained-glass windows of the houses on Tuinsstraat.

Discover even more of Tilburg
The Dwaalgebied is a real journey of discovery during your visit to Tilburg. From here, you can also easily visit the other distinctive neighbourhoods that characterise Tilburg. The Industrial Railway Zone and the core shopping area are just a stone’s throw away from your starting point in the walking area: the Vijfsprong.
