Breda neighborhoods inside and outside the singels
Breda splits into the old center, ringed by the canals known as the singels, and the former villages the city absorbed.
City center between station and Grote Markt
The Breda city center lies inside the singels, around the Grote Markt and the Grote Kerk, with Breda Centraal on its northern edge. Imagine walking home from the train through Park Valkenberg to a flat near the Havermarkt. Expect apartments, studios and rooms above shops rather than houses.
Ginneken, village feel south of the center
Ginneken is a former village south of the center, reached along the Ginnekenweg and built around its own square, the Ginnekenmarkt. The Mastbos forest starts at its edge, which draws families looking for a house with a garden.
