What to do and see in Breda, North Brabant Province: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

August 4, 2021 Karren Gelb

Breda (Dutch pronunciation: [breːˈdaː] ( listen)) is a city and municipality in the southern part of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Brabant. The name Breda derived from brede Aa ('wide Aa' or 'broad Aa') and refers to the confluence of the rivers Mark and Aa. As a fortified city, the city was of strategic military and political significance. Although a direct Fiefdom of the Holy Roman Emperor, the city obtained a municipal charter; the acquisition of Breda, through marriage, by the House of Nassau ensured that Breda would be at the center of political and social life in the Low Countries. Breda had a population of 183,456 in 2017; the metropolitan area had a population of 324,812. It is part of the Brabantse Stedenrij.

Very nice indeed to be back in Breda - which has always been my favourite City in the Nertherlands - drastically underrated. Had a walk round it, with some others - great architecture, and it always look impressive when illuminated by the Sun. Truly represents the very heart of Breda.

Breda's Begijnhof Museum

Reviewed By stephencU6786JM - Belfair, United States

The Begijnhof is a beautiful spot for a short visit. I was there during the winter, so the gardens were dormant, but I imagine it's amazing during spring and summer. It's easy to walk past and miss the gateway, but there's a lot of local information to let you know exactly where to find it. It's quiet and peaceful, and has a very interesting history going back for centuries. There's a small museum (2 Euro entry cost) with a short video available in both English and Nederlander languages. The museum shows how the Beguins lived when the Begijnhof was still active. You don't need to enter the museum just to visit the grounds, though. The grounds are open for visiting, but be aware that women do still live in the apartments, and quiet wandering is appreciated. The chapel is not open to walk into, but you can step inside the door and look through a glass partition to see it. It's quite lovely.

Prison Escape

Reviewed By Simon-Klaas

You've seen Shawshank Redemption, Escape, The Wire...or any other prison movie? You've always wanted to play a role like that? Well, here is you chance. You can be the scary mouse or the biggest thug (no physical stuff - keep it pleasant folks). The actors/organizers are well-capable of dealing with the story you make for yourself. Use the character you create for yourself to interact with inmates (players and actors), guards, social worker...find and listen to clues...and get out! Best of luck, but more importantly: immerse yourself and have fun!
