Details
Ontdek Tilburg tijdens een stadswandeling met een gids. Wist u dat Wolstad Tilburg haar bijnaam dankt aan de productie van wol en textiel? Tijdens de stadswandeling door Tilburg hoort u meer over dit industriële verleden dat voor de groei van de stad zo bepalend is geweest. De wandeling voert langs markante gebouwen zoals het paleis dat in opdracht van koning Willem II werd gebouwd. Maar ook de moderne architectuur in de spoorzone wordt niet overgeslagen. Oude stationsfabriekshallen werden hier herontwikkeld als horeca, bedrijfspanden en woningen. Uiteraard vertelt onze gids u tijdens de stadswandeling ook wat nu precies een ‘kruikezeiker’ is en hoe de Tilburgers carnaval vieren.
