Walking Tours in Breda

Breda: Nassau City, the Peat Boat & the Princely Gardens

Before Amsterdam was Amsterdam, Breda was a Nassau city. Walk a 2 km loop through the town where the House of Orange married into the Low Countries, where seventy-two soldiers rode a peat boat into a Spanish-held castle, and where a Renaissance prince laid out one of the first Italianate gardens north of the Alps. Ten outdoor stops, one peat-ship ruse, a Brabantine Gothic cathedral with a mummified cat, and a café that has been pouring the same family's beer since 1838. Ready to meet Breda?
