With its eighty fens, making it one of the most striking areas of nature in the Netherlands, 6000 terrace chairs, making it perhaps the country’s largest terrace, and an array of exclusive shops in the stunning and historic backdrop of one of the most remarkable shopping cities for miles around: that’s Oisterwijk in a nutshell. And you will discover why it is called ‘The Gem in the Green’ during one of the walking or cycling tours in and around the city. Come and enjoy all the wonderful things this delightful setting has to offer!

Gems
Oisterwijk received city rights more than 800 years ago, but in the historic core you will find a striking combination of authentic rural charm and entrepreneurial urban character.
