Getting married in Breda: Burgundian and historic

Breda has a compact, lively city centre with plenty of history. The Grote Kerk, with its tall tower, stands on the Grote Markt, where you will also find the town hall. Within walking distance are Breda Castle, home to the Koninklijke Militaire Academie (Royal Military Academy), Valkenberg park and the Begijnhof with its peaceful inner garden.

Breda is known as a Burgundian city, famous for its good food and drink, with plenty of terraces around the Grote Markt and the Havermarkt. After the ceremony there is always somewhere close by to have a drink with your guests before the car takes you to the reception.

The old harbour and the Spanjaardsgat, the water gate with two round towers, give the city extra character. For many couples, a walk along the water after the ceremony is the moment for their first photos together.

Breda in pictures: routes and photo spots

Breda has a lot of greenery close to the centre. That means you can take both historic and countryside photos in a short time, without spending long in the car.

Mastbos and Ginneken

On the south side of the city lies the Mastbos, an ancient planted forest with straight avenues and tall trees. Right next to it is the village-like Ginneken, with a pleasant centre. Kasteel Bouvigne is also here, a small castle with towers and a garden, and a familiar sight in the region.

Valkenberg and the singels

Valkenberg park lies between the station and the centre and is a quiet spot for photos under old trees. Along the singels (the canals around the old town) you can take a short, scenic drive without having to go through the busiest streets.

Choosing a wedding car in Breda

Breda's city centre is busy and has many pedestrian areas. Agree a drop-off spot with the rental company on the edge of the centre, for example by the singels or the harbour. A classic car suits the old facades well, while an American convertible really comes into its own on the avenues of the Mastbos.

Take a look at our overview of wedding cars in Noord-Brabant for more choice. Breda is close to the Belgian border, so rental companies from Flanders sometimes drive here too; compare them in the offer in Belgium. If you want something truly American, have a look at the American wedding cars.

If your reception is more towards Midden-Brabant, also take a look at the wedding cars around Tilburg. On a Saturday, allow some extra time, because the roads around the city centre can be busy with shoppers.
