What have you always wanted to do in Breda? Create your own bucket list with activities you definitely want to try or hotspots you want to visit again. To help you get started, we have already put together two for you. The Outdoor Enjoyer Bucket List is specifically for, as the name suggests, outdoor enjoyers!

What is better than sleeping in your little tent in the middle of nature? Nothing, of course! We all secretly long for a holiday as soon as the first rays of sunshine come through. It is even more fun if you spend the night in a unique accommodation. Many of these accommodations are also sustainable, as they are located in the woods or because the accommodation is simply so small that there are few luxury facilities.

Breda has a number of fun treasure hunts to undertake with or without children. Go on an educational adventure!

Tip: grab a delicious ice cream at one of the ice cream parlours in Breda!
