Visit Breda - home to pro football Royal Netherlands Football Association team - NAC Breda! Breda is a quiet student town in the south of the Netherlands, halfway between Rotterdam and Antwerp. The town is the Dutch version of Ancient Troy; het Turfschip van Breda helped the Dutch army conquer the city from the Spaniards in pretty much the same way as the Trojan Horse helped the Greeks. Breda shows many signs of its past.

Take a walk along the Historical Mile through the oldest part of Breda. And every Tuesday morning you can visit the weekly market, which has been in existence since 1321. The major landmark in the historic centre is the tower of the Grote or Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk - the Church of Our Lady. It dominates almost the whole of Breda and took 125 years in all to build.

It is richly decorated on the outside, and despite the effects of the Reformation in 1566 it still has a remarkable interior. There are many restaurants, bar and pubs to spend the evening. The atmosphere very warm and friendly.
