Exploring North Brabant

North Brabant’s rich historic past and unspoiled
countryside have given the province its unique
character. The centres of ’s-Hertogenbosch and Breda
and the picturesque fortified towns of Heusden and
Willemstad are of great historical interest. The beautiful
natural areas of the Loonse and Drunense dunes, Peel,
Kempen and Biesbosch areas provide opportunities
for various tours. Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, De
Wieber in Deurne and the many other museums in the
region offer a great deal of cultural interest. De Efteling
is one of Europe’s best-known theme parks.
