Breda, Netherlands: A Quiet Walk Through Gothic Architecture and Historic Courtyards

Join me on a relaxed walk through Breda, a charming city in the southern Netherlands that quietly holds an immense royal history. In this episode of Jolly Good Journeys, I spend the day admiring the city's towering masonry, beautiful brickwork, and peaceful green spaces. My walk takes me from the still, reflective moat of the Kasteel van Breda to the staggering scale and intricate stone carvings of the Grote Kerk. Finally, I step away from the lively city squares to find absolute stillness among the pristine brick houses and manicured gardens of the walled-off Begijnhof.
