What we’re about
Urban & Rural is a community that focuses on day trips across The Netherlands and West Germany, and we organize walks in the area of Arnhem-Nijmegen. Activities that we like to host are for example city walks, nature hikes, photo walks, and traveling together to a (far) place where we go to places like museums, cafés and restaurants. We want to provide a safe environment for people to connect and to create friendships. We care for relaxation and mental health, and we also aim to prevent isolation and burnout. We want our events to be easy accessible and are in principle low-budget friendly. Our events are open for Dutch and International people, as English is our main spoken language.

City walk, Free time & Sterrentocht
This event consists partly of a group walk in the city center of Tilburg and partly of offering free time. The group walk is at a slow pace so you can connect with others, while enjoying the scenery of the city and taking photos along the way. In case of bad weather: bring an umbrella! After about 75 minutes, free time starts: we’ll check in if people like to continue our group walk or if there are other ideas to do in the city. For instance going to a museum, a café, do photography or anything else. If we continue our walk it will be at the same pace, we’ll go to new areas and if there’s enough interest we’ll go for a coffee in between. At 17:00 we’ll stop hosting the event, but on this day the Sterrentocht is organized in Tilburg, starting at 17:00 @Willemsplein. This is a real recommendation if you like light, arts and Dutch cultural events.
Meetup at station
The official meetup of this event is @Tilburg Station, near Starbucks (13:00-13:15). If you’re coming by train, always check ns.nl/reisplanner on the day itself, as unexpected delays and cancellations are common. If you’re coming by car, I suggest checking the official municipality website to check where parking spaces are and what fares apply. U&R is originally based in Arnhem, but likes to invite people from anywhere in the country to join our travels.
Sign-up: RSVP on Meetup or Google Forms
