A City Guide to Breda, the Netherlands, Breda, Netherlands

Breda is a city in the Southern part of the Netherlands (in the province North Brabant) and the perfect destination for a city trip! Besides its rich history, it’s also a really nice city when it comes to restaurants, terraces and shopping possibilities. Furthermore, in the direct environment of the city you can find some beautiful nature. A few weeks ago, I spent a weekend in Breda and in this article I’d like to tell you some more about the must do’s.

There are several ways to get to Breda. I’ll take Amsterdam as a starting point ‘example’, because that’s where most travellers start their journey in the Netherlands. If you have a (rental) car you can take the highway A2 towards Utrecht and after Utrecht you need to take highway A27 until Breda. Breda offers many parking possibilities: we parked our car in the parking garage ‘De Barones’, which is located in the middle of the city center so perfect for exploring the center of Breda.

If you’d like to use public transport: there are direct trains going from Amsterdam Central Station to Breda Central Station which take you there in, approximately, one hour. Take a look on the 9292 website to get the actual information for the public transport. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
