Start your day with a delicious brunch at Teds

Start your day at Teds, an all-day brunch restaurant. Teds offers an extensive menu with a variety of sweet and savory options to suit all tastes. Enjoy some creative dishes and sip on some refreshing mimosas while taking in the trendy interior, complete with some amazing quotes on the walls. Teds Breda is a fantastic brunch spot that's sure to leave you feeling satisfied!

After your delicious breakfast, it is time to head over to the next stop of the day. We recommend going via the Molsparking (great way to park your car for the day), and then take a "shortcut" via the Akkerstraat. This should take you less than 10 minutes.

Enjoy some shopping at De Barones

The weather in the Netherlands can be quite hit or miss. If you want to shop it is recommended to do so in an indoor shopping center, that way you don't have to worry about the weather and you stay nice and warm! De Barones has about fifteen stores and a cozy coffee bar. You can find some popular fashion stores like Bershka and Mango, but also other stores such as The Body Shop and Xenos. There is something for everyone!

Go north for about 4 minutes on shopping street Karrestraat, and you'll see your next destination looming in the distance ;-)

Admire De Grote Kerk

You have undoubtedly already spotted De Grote Kerk from afar, with its 97-meter-high tower, when you arrived in Breda. The church is located in the center of Breda and is the most important landmark of the city. The church was built in the style of Brabant Gothic and has been restored several times over time!

Try different cuisines at Foodhall

Right around the corner of De Grote Kerk you can find Foodhall. This indoor market has 12 differents stands with different cuisines, so get ready to try out a lot of dishes! Whether you're in the mood for Indonesian, Vietnamese or even Brazilian food, Foodhall has it all. They also have a bar here where you can order various cocktails, wines, beer or soft drinks. We recommend sharing several dishes so you can still try different cuisines. Apart from the amazing food and drinks, they play really great music here, so bonus points for them!

Walk into the direction of the Grote Markt (Main Square) for about 4 minutes to arrive at your next destination. Ready for some more sight-seeing?

Wonder at the Sint-Antoniuskathedraal

Located in the heart of Breda you will find the Sint-Antoniuskathedraal, an architectural gem. The neoclassical style is clearly visible in the front facade and is absolutely stunning. It is one of the highlights of Breda and cannot be missed during your trip! It is located right in the center of Breda, which means there are tons of restaurants, bars and even arcade halls nearby.

We hope you're in the mood for some great food, because in less than 10 minutes, you'll arrive at your final destination of the day! You can take the way back through the countless shopping streets and do some (window)shopping on your way there.

Share some streetfood at The Streetfood Club

End your day with some tempting food and unique cocktails at The Streetfood Club. Literally every dish on the menu is original and delicious, so you can't go wrong! Do not expect classic dishes, but rather internationally inspired dishes such as dim sum, empanadas and ceviche. The cocktail menu ('Around the world in 80 cocktails') is also very extensive. We also loved the interior (think: plants and lamps everywhere!) and atmosphere. The staff are top notch, food arrives really fast (great if you're hungry), and when we visited there even was a DJ playing some fine tunes!
