Den Bosch Travel Forum

hello, i'll be coming to hertogenbosch from amsterdam on december 8.
i'm planning to go to efteling and also at the same day to go to a show (maroon 5) at Brabanthallen (at 8pm)- where is barbanthallen? is it close to the train station in hertogenbosch?
also- are there many train companies which i can choose from to travel here from amsterdam or only one train?
thank you for any help

hi, just use www.ns.nl for your train schedules (there's an English link at the top). Best choose the train that is fastest (has least stops and changes). BUt it's straightforward.

Brabanthallen is about 10 minutes walk from the station.

Here's a map how you can walk there (mind you, it shows the car route, you can make some shortcuts when walking):

From trainstation 'Hertogenbosch, there are busses to the Efteling. So you should be ok there too :-)
Address Efteling:
Europalaan 1
5171 KW Kaatsheuvel

For any schedules (bus, train, etc.) use www.9292ov.nl. SImply put in the addresses I gave you, or select 'station'.

Brabanthallen is indeed about 10 minutes walk from the station. You have to take the "uitgang west" (exit west, this is not the main exit) and then turn right and walk parallel to the railtracks. I think you'll see more people walking that way if there is a concert, so you should be fine, just follow them.
