Breda is a quiet student town in the south of the Netherlands, halfway between Rotterdam and Antwerp. The town is the Dutch version of Ancient Troy; het Turfschip van Breda helped the Dutch army conquer the city from the Spaniards in pretty much the same way as the Trojan Horse helped the Greeks.

Breda shows many signs of its past. Monuments, references and memorials. Pieced together they give you an idea of how it might have been.Take a walk along the Historical Mile and you'll find yourself passing through the oldest part of Breda .

And every Tuesday morning (as it still is today) you can visit the weekly market, which has been in existence since 1321. The majpor landmark in the historic centre is the tower of the Grote or Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk (the Church of Our Lady). It dominates almost the whole of Breda. It took 125 years in all to build. It is richly decorated on the outside, and despite the effects of the Reformation in 1566 it still has a remarkable interior.

Nightlife and eating out in Breda are no problem. There are many restaurants, bar and pubs to spend the evening. The atmosphere is so warm, that some people describe Breda as 'the most northern city of Southern Europe'. Well....
