Top 10 Tilburg date ideas:
- If you love to be in bookshops or libraries then this date idea is for you. Gianotten Mutsaers offers a variety of books (also in English) and can give you as much as two levels worth of literacy to look at. However, it is not just any bookshop, it is also a café! Thus, after you have savored the books you can retreat to their café and enjoy a warm coffee with some delicious cake.
Location: Emmapassage 17, 5038 XA Tilburg - If you are looking for an activity that is the perfect middle between sportive and chill then Jeu de Boules is just right. NondeJeu is an indoor boules hall with more than just games of Boule. They also offer “Prison Island” which takes the form of an escape room and different kinds of board games.
Location: Pieter Vreedeplein 80, 5038 BW Tilburg - For those of you who love sports, the ice skating rink in Tilburg Ireen Wüst Ice Rink is just the thing for you! It has an area where people can skate freely but also offers seasonal events and activities.

Get some scented candles to set the mood and enjoy a comfy night in with the person (or people) you love the most!
