What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Paleisbrug for its beautiful design, lush greenery, and its role as a modern connector between Den Bosch's historic and contemporary districts. It offers lovely city views and is a great spot for train enthusiasts. However, a recurring issue is the frequent malfunction of its accessibility lifts, which is a significant drawback for some.
"When visiting Den Bosch, definitively make a visit to this bridge over the train tracks. Itβs the closest you get to the High Line (NYC) in The Netherlands. ;)"
Marc Zwart
"Very nice view and the bridge has plants on it which make it quite a nice walk. Sadly the lift in the end is broken so people with mobility issues can no longer use it."
Manuel Urquidi
"Great view and nicely done. Just another nice place to visit in Den Bosch! Good place to wander around and jump from the old town to the new and metropolitan part of the city."
