Some of the most important services provided by the tourist office are listed below: Hotel reservations Information on sights in and around Breda Special events agenda for Breda and the Breda region City walks, also conducted by a tour guide Breda and Holland souvenir sales Theatre and concert reservations Free WiFi (Willemstraat) 1
CULTURE & HISTORY The name Breda descends from a contraction of the Brede (wide) Aa.This is the place where two rivers, the Mark and the Aa, flow together. In the year 1252 Breda obtained its municipal rights, and at the beginning of the 14th century Breda was walled in. Also, in the fourteenth century the city was surrounded with mouts, so called singels. Around the city you can still find them. All the streets surrounding the city were laid in an oval shape, which is a noticeable sign for old fortified cities. In the city centre there are a lot of monuments, but there is one particular that makes Breda recognisable from a great distance and that is De Grote or Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk. This beautiful church from the 15th century can be admired from almost every point in Breda. Between 1995 and 1997 the beauty of the church was hidden from the public, it took almost three years to restore the inside and the outside of the church. The so-called Spanjaardsgat flanked by two heptagonal towers reminds visitors of the time Breda was in hands of the Spaniards. The Castle of Breda shows the historical relation between Breda and the House of Oranje Nassau, the ancestars of the Dutch Royal Family. In 1198 the castle was a fortress. During the centuries many changes have been made to the castle. Since 1828 the Royal Military Academy (KMA) has the castle in use. Next to the Castle of Breda you will find the city park Valkenberg. Until 1812 this park was part of the castle and only accessible for the Heeren van Breda. From origin, the park was a forest, with high trees. In the 17th century this changed, when the forest was transformed into a park with a more French style. In 1995 the park was renovated. All park pathways were laid, bushes and shrubberies were moved and new lighting was installed. In the historical city centre lies the peaceful Beguinage. Until 1990 the court was inhabited by beguines, the statue in the garden still reminds of them (a replica of this statue is for sale at the VVV). In the herb garden you will find hundreds of different herbs. The Catharinastraat, where the Beguinage is situated, has undergone many changes in its long history, yet it has been able to keep its grandeur. For example, the stately Huis van Wijngaerde at number 9 is worth a visit. We have mentioned the characteristic combination of rich history and high-principled modern architecture in Breda. For instance, you will find the Barones, no, not a noble lady, but an indoor shopping mall in the heart of Breda, and the trendy shopping centre t Sas, right next to the medieval Grote Markt. Breda also possesses buildings of the modern architect Hertzberger: the everywhere praised Chassé Theater and the municipal centre of art Nieuwe Veste.The tasteful combination of old and modern art can also be admired in Breda s Museum, situated in former military barracks. Another fine piece of architectural work is the pop stage the Mezz, and not to be forgotten, the Holland Casino, the biggest casino in the west of Europe.This casino is situated in a magnificently rebuilt monastery in the centre of Breda. MOTI Museum of the Image is the leading authority on visual Culture. Apart from its history and its culture Breda is, above all, known for its kind hearted burgundian atmosphere which is characteristic for all of the older, southern cities, where one knows how to enjoy life. When admiring a beautiful monument it is nice to relax on a cosy pavement café or in a good restaurant. We welcome you in the finest city of the south and wish you great pleasure in exploring Breda. See you in Breda! 2
