The other day, my boyfriend and I were talking, and I said how much I miss the fact that the bar in Holland my friends and I were usually going to have a place to hang your jackets under the table. Here in the UK, I haven’t seen such a thing and it’s so inconvenient trying to find a place for your winter coat or jacket. So, I was thinking what other things I miss and I've managed to narrow the list to only 5 things I miss about living in the Netherlands.

​      North Brabant is the second-largest province in Holland and for a year it was my home. Living in Tilburg, I got to travel a lot to nearby places. The cities are easily reachable by train and make for the best day trips. Read on to find out what not to miss in those 5 cities in North Brabant. 

 ​You can go almost anywhere by train in the Netherlands. I think that during my master’s, I took the train more times than in my entire life before that. And I loved it. I have always liked trains. What I rarely noticed before were the train stations. In the Netherlands that was simply impossible. The railway stations are the first thing you notice in a new town and you can immediately get a feeling of the place, just by looking at the train station buildings. Needless to say, I was fascinated by the train stations in each town I was visiting. They were the first thing I was taking pictures of, as each of them were so different from the ones before. Of course, a photo of the train station in Tilburg, the one I used the most, is missing as it was under construction for almost the whole year I spent there. But here are photos featuring some of the other railway stations of the towns I visited while living in Holland.
