background
getting there
By plane
The nearest international airport is Amsterdam Schiphol. From there there is a direct train connection lasting around an hour.
Smaller airports in the vicinity can be found in Rotterdam and Eindhoven. The German airports Dusseldorf and Dortmund are significantly further away than any Dutch airport.
By train
Den Bosch is good in the rail network Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch State Railways) involved. Most of the larger Dutch cities either have direct connections or a transfer process is necessary. There are no direct connections from Germany 1 's-Hertogenbosch Centraal
, the fastest option here is the ICE Leaving direction Amsterdam in Utrecht and from there in about half an hour with a IC to drive to Den Bosch. Seats cannot be reserved in Dutch ICs. There are also sprinter from Utrecht to 's-Hertogenbosch, these local trains take about an hour and also stop at the small train stations.
Note: The Dutch State Railways are gradually building a system of automatic entry controls in the stations that can only be opened with Dutch tickets (with an RFID chip) or a special 3D barcode. Travelers with a foreign ticket should ask the train escort on the train taking them to the Netherlands for such a barcode, otherwise there is a risk of not being able to leave the station on arrival and not being able to get to the tracks on the return journey. As of the beginning of May 2016, neither Utrecht Centraal nor 's-Hertogenbosch Centraal were equipped with the new admission control.
