Oh, how happy we are with all the cheerful bulb fields in Breda! Scattered throughout Breda, you can find various flower bulb fields that are currently in full bloom! Time for a stroll: this walking route will take you past a number of the bulb fields. Don’t forget to bring your camera, as you can take beautiful photos for Instagram here!

Good news, as for the coming years, around 2000 m2 of new bulbs will be planted each year. While one type of flower may have faded after a few weeks, mixing early and late bloomers significantly extends the blooming period of the bed. The early bloomers were already flowering in February, but the other types will be in bloom until May. Want to know more about the bulb fields in Breda?

Tip! The centre of Breda is surrounded by water, the canals. The municipality of Breda is in the process of turning the inner ring of the canals into a pleasant walking and running route of about 5.5 kilometres over the next few years. To make this route more colourful, special bulb mixtures have been developed with strong standard varieties, supplemented with extra colours. Each section, between two bridges, will have its own extra colour. With a nod to Breda's royal Nassau past, these colours are gold, white, blue, and orange. Get ready to be surprised!
