"For me, Ollie's on the Tuinstraat is the place to buy an original gift for a birthday or other occasion. Mainly because you can buy local, genuine Tilburg products here. It is always nice to surprise someone with something local.”

"I don't come to Leonardo often enough to call it my hangout, but still often enough to be labelled a regular. This really is a place for beer lovers with invariably 75 seasonal beers and 50 changeable beers. Bar Leonardo is a real highlight on the Korte Heuvel."

"This is probably not an undiscovered spot anymore, but I still want to include it on my map. Café Anvers is an excellent café with excellent food, you don't come across that combo very often. But you can find it here!”

"This is a good place to have a cup of coffee. You can also find all kinds of fine fresh products and delicacies here. If you are looking for a nice or original gift, Mercado Emma is the place to be."

"My regular address for tasty sandwiches. They sell sandwiches everywhere, but Broodega is my favourite. You can wake me up in the middle of the night for the hot toppings in particular. Not to be missed.”

"A great place for a business lunch, but also for a drink in the sun on the terrace or in the garden in your spare time. And you can also have a delicious dinner here. Spaarbank has it all."

"As a student, I used to meet up with friends here often and it's still a great place to hang out. It's a great place for people-watching: shoppers, commuters, students on their way to a party and hipsters. There’s always a lot to see out here.”

"What a great place for a walk. You feel like you're in the middle of nature here, while the city is only a few minutes away. Fantastic. When I still thought running was my thing, I tried it here. Nowadays I stick to walking."

"Doloris is an artistic maze where all your senses are stimulated in the most diverse ways. When I stepped out of the maze, I immediately wanted to go back inside. The rooftop bar one floor up is also highly recommended."

"If I need to single out one specific place where you can have a party, it would be de Baret. They have perfected the old-fashioned party café evening down to the last detail. Everything here is just that little bit better than in other places in the Netherlands."
