From a leisurely morning to a delightful evening, we’re here to offer tips for an amazing day. Whether you’re into culture, seeking some physical activity, or just want to enjoy a good meal, we’ll show you how enjoyable and surprising a day in our city can be. It’s great for kids too!

10.30 Dive into culture!

Now the day can truly start! While you're still feeling fresh, head to a museum. Explore historical exhibits or delve into modern art. A ticket to Museum Helmond gives you access to both the ancient castle and the contemporary Kunsthal. Have more time for another museum? Consider a journey through the early days of computing (complete with an arcade!) or visit the EDAH-museum to see how shopping was done in the past.

14.00 Hit the Trails

Time to get moving! With a full belly, you can start exploring the city on foot or by bike. There are various routes through the city center, such as the art route and the mural route. If you have a bike available, you can ride a portion of the Helmond loop, which also takes you through the city's beautiful natural areas. Think walking is boring for kids? Not at all! There are even special routes designed for children, complete with activity books and fun facts.

16.00 stroll and discover

If you have kids with you, a visit to a playground is a must! In Burgemeester Geukerspark in the city center, you'll find the Verhalenspeeltuin, where little ones can play while improving their language skills. And secretly, it’s quite fun for adults too. It’s definitely worth wandering through the city center, as there are many more hotspots to discover, such as the famous cube houses and the Sint-Lambertuskerk with its impressive Robustelly organ from 1773.
