Hey guys! Another great video!! We couldn’t wait until 17:00 to see the latest vlog from our favorite TH-camr’s!😍. We would definitely be up for hanging out there with you❤❤
We’d have the best time exploring Breda!
thank you for visiting my hometown. You made a nice promo of the city. Breda presents a lot of history, nature , shopping, and a lot of burgundy lifestyle. Glad you enjoyed it !
It’s such a lovely place. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Thanks for visiting my hometown
Cool to see this ! I live in Breda! And I liked the park/ intro because I hear the roosters I hear them everyday 😂😂
Interresting to see Breda through the tourists eyes. There are alot more to see in Breda. The mastbos, The Galdeze Meren, Ginnekenkarkt, Markdal and the area where Ginnenkenstraat/weg, Baronieland etc. See you next time.
There is a hotel in Breda that was used by Napoleon as gun power factory. It isn't a simple hotel, it's also a school. A school hotel. They work only during week days but the room is enormous and cheap. It is called "Onderwijshotel De Rooi Pannen Breda". Highly recommended.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventures :)
Great video as usual :-) I love your travel and history content...very informative. Great work guys!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Super nice you even considered going to my hometown! It’s always nice to see it get the recognition is deserves! Great video guys!
Glad to see you guys visit Brabant, my awesome province!
We loved our time there, can’t wait to go back!
It’s funny to see a video with my school as background scenery 😅 It is behind the polish monument. Nice video!
Great to see you had a great day in Breda. You have to come back to discover more of this beautiful city and his culinair being! Enjoyed the video very much
Yes, we enjoyed it so much. Couldn’t have done it without your tips. That foodhall was lovely!
@@TAndTGoDutch and you showed us mr Moos, it is on our list to visit one day, because my friends recommended it to us. It lookes very nice inside
Beautiful day in BRAYdah .. Thanks for the tour guys .. Traci, I also loved the miniature doll houses .. squeeeeeee

The pearl of the South 💛🖤

I'm glad you enjoyed my hometown. The historical city center is great, but there is so much more to see and explore in Breda. I hope you will come back for that.
It was so lovely! We can’t wait for our next visit.
Super leuke video, heel informatief ook! Dank jullie wel😊
Thanks for watching, Linda!
This was so fun to watch.. Breda is my hometown. There is so much history here and you showed a lot of the city itself!
Aww, thank you so much. We loved our time there, and were looking forward to our next visit!
I live in breda ....love your video
Wat een leuke gezellige video’s maken jullie 👍🏼Ik ben nog nooit in Breda geweest, dus bedankt voor de rondleiding 😁
Love how you brougt breda to live in a different way. I often go to breda and this was a nice portrait of a great city.
Definitely one of our favorite cities. Can’t wait for our next visit!
Thank you for visiting Breda! Please come back during summertime. Lots more to see and I can take you on a 2h electric boat tour around the 'singels' and show you lots more!
Oh that would be positively lovely! We’re really looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much for watching!
Just send me a message a few weeks before here and I will accomodate
I loved those chickens 😂 definitely a surprise. I was there a few months ago
Hi! Love your videos about different cities. Must say I do miss visits to pubs (bruin cafes) though, which I think represents a big part of Dutch culture and lifestyle (end of the afternoon for instance). Not just the fancy coffee bars and nice restaurants 😊. And in summer sitting outside for hours on a terrasje. Hope to see you in one of the Hanzetowns soon! Love the sun on your hair 😉
The brown bars are such a fantastic idea, thank you. On our next city visit, we’ll try to find one to feature. Cannot wait for terrasje season! Appreciate your kind words so much.
Very nice.👍😉
My goodness, guys. When the winter sun is shining on the hair of the two of you, it looks like spun gold. Wow!
Aww, that is so kind of you to say. Thank you so much for watching!
Watching this from a Walmart parking lot in Rochester, New York. I miss these Dutch cities although Rochester looked good too while driving through it.
I can recommend Leeuwarden, Groningen and lots of the smaller northern towns of the Netherlands.
In Barcelona, I would recommend the bus tour first. It’s more spread out and that way you can see where you would like to hike to. Everyone will see the famous fountains there. I’d say they look better after sunset with the beautiful lights on 😇
Ah, Rochester! Just an hour away from where Tracey grew up! Thanks for your suggestions, we always appreciate your comments.
Great video. Very good editing and nice history lessons. Definitely take pensionado’s Eric and Tammy to Breda. You are professional tourguides. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Michel!
🎉 my hometown. Nice video 🤩
Thank you so much, Breda was so lovely!
When I was drafted I served in the Breda castle . It's called the KMA The Royal Military Academy. I was a bartender there from 1979 untill 1980....
I had good times there
Leuke video en veel plezier in Barcelona
❤️❤️❤️
No way this is so cool, I live in breda and I’ve basically lived here all my life, it’s very interesting to see foreigners in my city especially people that are from a different country, it’s nice to see it from your perspective since I’m so used to seeing all these things. I really hope you had a great time here. (If you didn’t already, go check out Efteling in Kaatsheuvel it’s a very lovely theme park one of the best of Europe in my opinion)
Oh I forgot here are some additional places you two could go to in the Netherlands
Rijksmuseum
Van Gogh museum
Nemo science museum
Kinderdijk
Neeltje jans
Keukenhof
Anne Frank house
Maduro dam
Euromast
I hope that’s not too overwhelming but those are some things that can keep you busy for your time staying here.
Most of these places also have maps and tours in English so you don’t have to worry about that.If there’s anything you would like to know about these places you can always ask me 😉.
Thank you so much! We’re itching to get to the Nemo (we both love science.) We went to Keukenhof last year (on the only day it snowed 😂!) We appreciate your suggestions, thanks for watching!
This video is a good reminder for me to go back to Breda. It has been years. If you're going north of the Netherlands, you should definitely check out Groningen. Het Groninger Museum (the building is designed by Medini) , het Forum (great view over the city and an amazing public building including a comic book museum and changing activities/exhabitions), cocktails at Mr Mofongo and great Lebanese food at Restaurant Fatoush. Our trainstation was elected as most beautiful trainstation of the Netherlands (but is under construction right now ). I wish you a great time in Barcelona. Greetings Marloes
Thank you Marloes! Groningen is absolutely on our list to visit this year. We appreciate your suggestions!
Love your vlog about Breda. And I'm glad you had a good time. The owner of Sip First has another establishment in the center called koffie bij Teun. For Barcelona I suggest you take the Hop On Hop Off Bus tour. It stops at most sight seeing spots. And you can get on and off as much you can. Saves buying tickets. Off cours you can't miss Sagrada Familia and Parc Gruell. One personal suggestion from me, La Taverna de Barcelona.
Oh gosh, we’ll have to check out Koffie Bij Teun next time. That breakfast we had at Sip First was insanely good. So glad you enjoyed our vlog!
Het is Parque de Güell
Interesting to see my town in this video. I'm a Brit and have lived here for 30 years. You missed so much, but I realise you had little time. It's a great place to live, hope you give it another chance and give yourself more time.
Of course! It’s difficult to fit so much into a day. We’ll absolutely be back. What do you think we need to see/do when we go back?
I wouldn't call Breda a town , it's not New York , L.A , London or Dublin but it's far from a small town in my opinion 😉
If you like doll houses you definitely have to check out the doll house department in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It's only one hall, but they have the most amazing 17th Century doll houses.
That sounds incredible. Thank you for sharing!
Good to see you enjoy Breda! If you want to visit a town/village instead of a big city fora change I can highly recommend Oisterwijk Noord-Brabant!
Awesome! We’ll add it to our list!
Ohhhh! I saw you last week when Leo met you near the castle!! I was walking to the station 😊 how funny!
Aww! That’s hilarious.
@@TAndTGoDutch isn't it! 😄I remember exactly
Mr moose is amazing 😂😂
My hometown!
Such a beautiful place!
@@TAndTGoDutch Good to hear you guys like Breda too! :)
Breedje Dizza! My hometown. There's a fast Train going from Brussels, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Schiphol airport if somebody wants to visit.
Nice video! If you're ever gonna go to Breda again, there's a very nice forest south of Breda called "Mastbos". Get a nice lunch at "de kogelvanger" and you can walk right into the forest from there :)
Oh, how funny. Our eldest daughter, a contortionist, once performed for Belgian TV (yes really) from the grounds of the KMA (Royal Military Academy) in Breda. That was great fun. I, as a father, was showered with small gifts such as key chains and caps with the text NLDA (Netherlands Defense Academy) on them.
Wow, that’s amazing!
Excellent video guys, have fun in Spain, get out of this cold!
How is Tobasco doing?
Thank you! He’s doing super well. Loving the cold weather.
We also have a tour through the city named the "blind walls gallery" with lots of wall art
So fun! We’ll have to do that next time we visit. Thanks for the tip.
The 16th century was not the Middle Ages but the Renaissance period.
Thanks for the correction!
I can recomment you,the best part of the town,Het Ginneken,rent a bycycle go to the ginneken markt,whith nice terrases,!!! take a belgium Bier,go to Het Markdal ,beautiful trip.,beside the river De Mark and the forrester Mastbos,about 7 kilometer ,you find the little place ,Meerseldreef ,having a coffee on one of the terrases,going back the other way,in to the forrester and having a beautifu lunch,in hotel Masbos,.Having a beautiful Sunday.
Sounds like the perfect day! Thank you so much for your suggestions, we are really looking forward to going back.
Definitely would love the Pink cupcake and all they offered. Interesting about the homes women reside at who choose to be single. Enjoy Barcelona.
Thanks for adding a part of the Polish liberators, our area was also liberated by them. Lest we forget.
So important to showcase. Thank you so much for watching!
As always very nice infotaining video. Perhaps you can improve the sound.
In Barcelona you have to visit everything that has to do with Gaudi. Read about him before you visit beautiful Barcelona.
Foodies like you (and me) should visit the foodmarkets Boqueria and Santa Catarina. And don't forget to eat tapas. I recommend Cerveseria Catalana.
Enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the tips on Barcelona! We appreciate you watching!
Breda! The locals generally consider Breda as the best in history, art and shopping. The birth place of DJ Tiësto, Hardwell and R3HAB. Numerous times vote Best Dutch City. Full of history, it actually is the birth place of New York because here is where the Dutch signed New Amsterdam over to England after giving them there only naval defeat in ever on there own territory near Chatham! Ever heard about the horse of Troy? In Breda during the 80 year war against Spain, the story is about “het turfschip” (the turf ship). William of Orange 1ste wife is buried under the 15th century old former Catholic Church. I can go on forever but check out yourself 😅
U should visit a football game in Breda its great and a real thing from the south even tho you don’t like football this is real culture
Sounds fun!
MY COUSiIN HAS A BRAZILIAN DINER IN THE FOOD HALL. AND THAT'S SO GOOD...
Yum! We’ll have to check that out next time!
try Heusden!
Hi T&T, did you or do you plan to visit Dordrecht? Its worthwhile seeing
Yes! It’s on our list for sure! What do you recommend seeing/doing there?
If you like more castles, there's the Kastelenroute on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
Ooh, we’ll check that out!
hi,thanx for the nice video. i lived for three years in Breda, did u know there is a great jazz festifal in may ?. greatings
Oh wow, that sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing!
@@TAndTGoDutch Yeah! highly recommend to visit Breda during one of the many many events. The city of Breda prouds itself on them and thrives to be eventcity of Europe. Not just the BeNeLux, but actually of Europe. Specially because it offers a wide range of events. Not just music events. Here follows a selection of what I believe to be the best events in a way longer list of events that take place in 1 year.
Jazz:: Big, crowded and mostly free. Providing a line-up with artists that come from all over the world. FE. Prince had his last show on a previous edition of this event.
Breda drijft/floats: As many people as possible get motivated to join the masses in getting onto a floating object and float to the center. Stages everywhere down the route.
Breda Photo: Cultural exhibition with many artists showing their photo's in a different theme each year.
Cultuurnacht: The entire cultural sector gets into organising something and they let the crowd follow a route to see it all. (Have to pay for)
Klunen: Big pre carnaval event where we pretend to be on ski trips. We strugle on ski's trying to get from bar to bar without snow or pistes.
Trailerfest,: The main house/techno event down at the lake for teenagers with best vibe. Adults also allowed and not out of place.
Breda Barst: :Wide range of music festival in valkenberg park.
Brand Parkies: weekly returning concert in valkenberg park.
Last but the very very very best,.
Do not know if you guys ever experienced Carnaval, but this is the biggest and baddest event in the world if you ask me. This year for first time since corona outbreak as it used to be. I strongly reccommend either Maastricht or Breda to experience this fun culture shock to any foreigner.
Fair warning: Do not try this sober.

Next stop, Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog. If you want the history lowdown on it Time the Traveller did nice video on it. If you visit, rent a car, it is in a less accessible part of the country.
We’ll be adding that to our list! Thank you for your suggestion!
The next time you go to Brabant, Take also worstenbrood it's not the same as saucijzenbroodje.
It's a delicatessen. It Is A sausage Bread.
Yes! We totally forgot to try one while we there. Next time, for sure.
The castle in Breda is in use by the Dutch military as their main military school. So a lot of soldiers start their training in Breda. Been inside and it's a wonderfull place but yeah not open for the public.
Hey my friends, for Barcelona a culinary tip is the many bars with "pinxtos" = the Bask tapas little bites that you order per piece and are delicious 🙂 And drink the yellow "Licor quarante y tres" -Licor 43 !
Keep your eyes open on the Ramblas.. famous boulevard but also famous for pick pockets that distract you and they work in teams 1 for distraction, 1 for taking valuables from you by bumping into you or touching you and another that takes the loot and runs! Many many tourists get robbed this way.. Please really keep away from any one there. Keep a distance!
Oh we’ve read about the pickpocket problem! Thanks for the tips!
And go to the Boqueria, the food market where you can eat pinxtos at a lot of foodstalls. Entrance at the Ramblas.
T AND T not talking about food? 😅 no serious, great vlog! 👍
Lol! Thanks for watching, Jack!
Breda is nicknamed: The pearl of the South.
I think I was 6 the last time I was in Breda (pronounced Bray-DA'). Certainly too long ago to remember... anything about the town.
Speaking of miniatures... Have you been to Madurodam yet?
Not yet, on our (very very long) list!
@@TAndTGoDutch I have been looking at real estate in The Netherlands and there's an condo block that overlooks Madurodam. Lol
Much of the south was liberated by the Americans and British. The Canadians liberated Amsterdam.
Don't forget the polish, they liberated Breda :)
The monument dedicated to the Polish in Breda was very moving to see. ❤️
They took and killed all the chickens this week 😢. The “hofje” is called “het begijnhof” where women who where alone lived together in their own houses.
My ex wife didn't like Breda: the first time we went, for a reason we still don't know, everything closed at 17:00......
Valkenberg, not burg
Are you 'natural reds' ? Then you should come back in summer. In the last week if august Breda hosts the Red Head Day Festival .., for natural reds .
We are! Actually, they moved the festival to Tilburg over the past few years. We actually had the opportunity to go last year. (The video is on our channel page if you’re interested!)
You could better go off to Dordrecht, oldest city from Holland "Not The Netherlands" It's 20 min back from Breda, between Rotterdam and Breda.. It's more historical, and fun facts
We’ll add that to our list. What do you recommend doing and seeing there?
@@TAndTGoDutch You can take a tour through the little river cross canale the city, they also say it's the little Venatie of the Netherlands the old church you can climb up the there, only stairs.. Uhm, great restaurants, don't know what you looking for. But it's a very good place whit lots of historical places.. So the centre it's a great visit :)
@@TAndTGoDutch | The American Constitution was heavily influenced by an event that took place in Dordrecht between 1618/1619; the Synod of Dort. Apart from the Canons of Dort, (still relevant in many American Churches (presbyterian brand)) also a Church governance structure was formulated (very much focused on local self governance in stead of the centralized hierarchical Roman Catholic structures). That was around the same time the 'Pelgrim Fathers' arrived in Holland and participated in the implementation (in Leiden!). They emigrated from Leiden to America a few decades later. Some decades later they were involved in the founding of Harvard and Princeton (originally schools for Theologians). School that some decades later educated a lot of people who a few decades later participated in formulating the founding documents of the US. The same fundamental idea of local self governance is deeply ingrained in those documents. Many have pointed out the striking similarities between the Declaration of Independence and the 'Acte van Verlatinghe' (2 Centuries prior). It followed the same route. The Mayflower contained a lot of Dutch idea's... the option of becoming a Republic being another...
So take that in mind, when you're there...
the only good thing about Breda is the train going home
Nou nou nou
