Things are about to get even more fun in Tilburg. A proper \u2018selfie spot\u2019 is being created right in the middle of Tilburg\u2019s Pieter Vreedeplein. The industrial sculpture is intended to make the square more popular and attract more visitors to the city.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The design is modern: a large concrete block with T-shaped cut-outs. When you stand inside the artwork, you can see various Tilburg landmarks through the openings, such as the Heuvelse Church. It will be a while yet before the selfie spot is ready, as the residential tower on Vreedeplein has to be built first.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pietervreedeplein.nl\/contentassets\/de678f601a52427e8a7f16b106522190\/nieuws_pvp_selfieplek_640x320.png?preset=image%20news\" alt=\"News: Pieter Vreedeplein is getting a selfie spot\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Image: Tilburg City Centre Entrepreneurs\u2019 Fund<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The Amsterdam effect<\/h2>\n<p>Tilburg has long wanted a selfie spot. It\u2019s good for city marketing. In Amsterdam, it proved to be a huge tourist attraction. The capital even removed the popular \u2018I Amsterdam\u2019 letters because too many tourists were flocking to them. That caused quite a stir. In Tilburg, all tourists are welcome. The city is welcoming more and more visitors; the 013 music venue, for example, attracted a record number of visitors last year. Nevertheless, Tilburg isn\u2019t worried about an excess of visitors for the time being. Around 40,000 euros has been set aside for the selfie spot; three-quarters of that amount is being paid for by the Entrepreneurs\u2019 Fund and the square\u2019s owner, Wereldhave. Part of it is being funded by the council.<\/p>\n<h2>Parking in Tilburg<\/h2>\n<p>Looking for a fun day out? Visit Tilburg!
