Stand on the market square in front of The Moriaan. This 13th-century brick building is the oldest in the Netherlands and currently houses the Tourist Center. It is a calm spot to orient yourself before the afternoon crowds arrive.

Walk seven minutes to Jan de Groot. This patisserie is famous for its Bossche bollen, large chocolate-covered doughnuts that supply many local cafés. Buy one to eat on the go or find a seat in their small lunchroom.

Take a three-minute walk to Eetcafé 't Keershuys. Housed in a 14th-century building that was once a small cheese factory, this cosy spot serves simple, good value food. It is a popular place for lunch or High Tea, making it a perfect pause to digest your pastry and admire the historic architecture.
