History where it happened
Cinematic walks through
Bossche history
Are you spending a day in 's-Hertogenbosch, or would you like to rediscover your own city? With a few hours to spare, you can step straight into Bossche history. Step into stories that happened exactly where you are standing. As you walk through streets, along old walls and across squares, short films, voices and historic images open another layer of the city. A walk becomes a time journey: close by, visual and easy to follow on your own phone. Along the way, a short scene or explanation appears at exactly the right moment. De Bossche Tijdmachine combines local stories, heritage knowledge and cinematic imagination. Read more

What makes a Bossche Tijdmachine walk special is that at certain points on the route an entertaining and informative video opens about that period. You are drawn into the past while the present city remains around you. Each video lasts one or two minutes.
It feels like walking with a guide, but with film and sound on your phone. At exactly the right moment a scene appears, making present and past flow together. Read more
