Discover the city of Marlijn

“My favorite venue to go dancing and go crazy. You can truly be yourself and feel free in Club Smederij without being afraid what others might think of you. This club is one of the frontrunners in Tilburg and hosts all kinds of cool events. Looking for a party? This is the place to be.”

“I discovered the LocHal when I was working on my bachelor thesis. I used to come here a few times a week, working next to other students or in a soundproof isolation booth to work without distractions. You can get a killer chai latte at the StadsCafé, located next to the entrance. Delicious!”

“Esplanade is the social hotspot located in the middle of the Tilburg University campus. But you don’t have to be a student to enjoy a great lunch, a good dinner or some drinks here. It’s our go to spot when my fellow students and I want to take a break from our classes. After a strong cup of coffee we’re good to go. When the sun is out you should definitely get a table outside.”

“My mom and I regularly enjoy a cup of coffee and some homemade pie here. Or their delicious French toast and scones. If the weather’s good I suggest you find a table outside, soak up the sun and order a virgin grownup-cocktail made with 100% natural syrups.”

“You cannot pass by this shop when you’re in town. Whenever I see a cool item pop up on their Instagram feed, I pay TIEN a visit. It’s the perfect place for unique gifts, but also when you want to treat yourself. When you buy clothes here, you won’t see many people wearing the same items as you!”

“Every now and then Cul de Sac is transformed into a classic disco bar: Disco Snolly. What to expect? Your favorite disco tunes of course, but also disco balls and glitter tops. Make sure to start the evening with a shot of Jägermeister to get into the groove!”

“Whether you want to rent a boat, take a stroll along the water, sit down for some drinks or grab a bite to eat in one of the many restaurants, the Piushaven has got you covered! I also like to visit this area when I go for a run.”

“Looking for the coolest shops in Tilburg? Leave the Heuvelstraat and check out the smaller, quieter streets next to it! If you’re into experimenting with fashion and love clothes that are a little less ordinary (just like me), Re-issue is the place to be. The perfect spot where you can find unique sneakers, clothes and accessories.”

“What an amazing area! A walk through the Spoorzone is guaranteed to leave you in awe. There is so much to see! When the sun’s out I usually stop at RAW for some drinks with friends in their garden. During summer the Spoorzone hosts countless amazing events such as music and food festivals.”

“Be sure to visit the Dwaalgebied, where you’ll find plenty of unique shops and restaurants. Like Daisy Lane for example. A quirky flower shop where they are experts in really listening to your wishes. I’m a huge fan of their daring combinations of flowers and colors.”
