The city
Den Bosch, as locals call 's-Hertogenbosch, the seat of the provincial government, preserves much of its walls and bastions. The skyline is defined by the tower of St. John’s Cathedral; the market square brings together narrow façades and terraces; and guided boats descend the canals hidden beneath the houses. Museums focused on Brabant and on Jheronimus Bosch complete the visit, and the local patisserie created the Bossche bol.

The local experience
Gothic cathedral of 's-Hertogenbosch, dedicated to St. John, built between the 14th and 16th centuries. The flying buttresses have nearly a hundred carved figures, from musicians to fantastic creatures, and the tower is open to visitors at certain times.
The triangular market square of 's-Hertogenbosch, with the statue of Jheronimus Bosch, the classical-faced town hall and De Moriaan, a brick house considered one of the city’s oldest. On some days of the week it hosts a market.
The network of canals that runs beneath houses, streets and squares in 's-Hertogenbosch, formed from branches of the Dommel River. Low boats with guides travel open and covered sections, passing under bridges and cellars.
The museum of the province of North Brabant, in the former provincial government palace in the museum quarter. It brings together art and history of Brabant, including works by Vincent van Gogh from the period he lived in the province, and hosts temporary exhibitions.
Center dedicated to Jheronimus Bosch in the former St. James’s Church in 's-Hertogenbosch. It displays life-size reproductions of the artist’s paintings—he was born and worked in the city—and has a tower with views over the center.
National memorial on the site of the Herzogenbusch concentration camp, created by the SS in Vught, south of 's-Hertogenbosch, during the German occupation. Exhibitions, a reconstructed barrack and the crematorium remember the prisoners who passed through there.
