The cosy old town, whose buildings from different eras have been lavishly restored, is particularly worth seeing. The “Grote Markt” is the focal point and popular square in the town centre. Here visitors will find the Stadthuis Bredas, the monumental” Grote Kerk”, consecrated at the end of the 13th century and the “St. Antoniuskerk” from 1836.

Small streets stretch away from the market square in all directions. For the most part, they are traffic-calmed and are perfect for strolling. Many restaurants and street cafes are inviting in the summer.

More than 500 nice shops can be found in the city area of Breda, among others at the “Woonboulevard”, which specializes in interior design and at “De Barones” at the market square Close to the center is the extensive city park with the Begijnhof and the “Kasteel van Breda”, which dates back to the 12th century.

The gate “Spanjaardsgat” was once part of the city wall. In the south of the city stands the romantic “Kasteel Bouvigne”.
