A tasty ice cream to go with it

Of course, you don't have to try them all in one day (although we'd understand if you did). But one thing is certain: Breda is full of spots where you can enjoy delicious artisan ice cream. Which do you choose? Stracciatella, mango, or that fresh yoghurt flavour?

On the water of the canals

Did you know that you can discover Breda from the water in many ways? And then the city looks really quite different. You can enjoy a leisurely boat tour or rent a small boat. But you can also be active and rent a SUP, canoe, or waterbike. The choice is yours!
