=== Tilburg Centrum ===
[[File:Map - NL - Tilburg - Wijk 00 Centrum.svg|thumb|64px|Location of Tilburg-Centrum]]

Tilburg Centrum is the downtown of Tilburg, and is situated between (clockwise) the Spoorlaan, Heuvelring, Paleisring, Schouwburgring and Noordhoekring, which is the same as the order of the one-way roads around the district. The district has 6,572 inhabitants, and most of the shops, hotels, restaurants and cafes of the city. In 2008, the refurbished Pieter Vreedeplein was opened to the public, addressing a lack of shopping facilities as compared to similar-sized cities in the Netherlands. Two smaller cinemas were replaced by a bigger one on the Pieter Vreedeplein in 2007. Despite being called ''Centrum'', the district is some distance southeast of the geographical center. The district is connected by the [[Tilburg railway station]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.tilburg.nl/fileadmin/files/actueel/tilburg_in_cijfers/18-230-INF-Tilburg-in-cijfers-2018-DEF-juni-zonder_snijtekens.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.tilburg.nl/fileadmin/files/actueel/tilburg_in_cijfers/18-230-INF-Tilburg-in-cijfers-2018-DEF-juni-zonder_snijtekens.pdf |archive-date=9 October 2022 |url-status=live |title=Tilburg in Cijfers -2018}}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
