Experiencing that Breda is a green city is best done during a boat trip along the canals. Although you sail right next to the city centre, the city's hustle and bustle seems far away. A boat trip in Breda is an experience for young and old.

The captain will tell you about various interesting sights along the route, such as the Spanjaardsgat, the Kasteel van Breda, the Koepel (former prison) and the Chassé Park. Boat company De Nieuwe Mark sails daily from the end of March to the end of October with electrically powered boats, so you sail quietly, sustainably and environmentally friendly.
