Our home is a cosy home, in a quiet street. Within walking distance you reach shops and restaurants (see photo), but also a public swimming pool and a children's farm with playground and coffee facilitees. With your bike, you'll reach the woods in 5 minutes and if you like hiking, there is plenty of beautiful area within walking distance. And don't forget our old historical city center! We have been chosen the best city center of the Netherlands this year!!
For kids Breda has a lot to offer and you can reach everything by bike: playground Ploegstraat, ice skating, skatebording, indoor playgrounds, bowling, mini lego world and swimming indoor and outdoor, rent a boat and sail along the canals with the whole family. If your children need to get rid of some energy, take them to Cross Jumps Breda. It is a trampoline park that been installed in a former sweet factory; it has 320 square metres of trampolines!
A must of Breda is the location close(30 minutes by car) to the Efteling (www.efteling.com), the largest theme park in the Netherlands. A unique park, open everyday of the year.
Twenty minutes drive from here, you can visit park de Beekse Bergen (www.beeksebergen.nl), which is a Safari park wit a mega playground.
And don't forget Antwerp, the Antwerp Zoo is magnificant (www.zooantwerpen.be/en/) and 45 minutes from our home.
Breda is located near the Belgian border, so Antwerp center is 45 minutes by car. Easy access to the freeways brings you in 30 minutes to Rotterdam center and it is 69 miles to Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam). If you choose the public transport, Breda has a lot to offer. With a big, modern, central trainstation, you can reach a lot of interesting places. The station is 15 minutes from our home by bike.
Breda is located in the Province of Brabant (www.visitbrabant.nl/en).
Brabant has attractive nature reserves. Four National Parks like the Biesbosch (see photo). Brabant countryside invites you to walk, to go orse riding and to cycle. We offer Europe's longest integrated cycle network.
Brabant had a lot places to go to: Eindhoven for example, that's the design hotspot of our region. But our province has also a lot of well preserved century old towns with historical monuments, city walls, cathedrals, castles (Heeswijk) and fortifications (Heusden).
