Enter nature

Autumn comes into its own best in nature. The leaves falling from orange trees and the sun shining through the trees create an amazing atmosphere. The Mastbos is the perfect place for a lovely autumn walk. Did you know that there is a special Play Forest in the Mastbos? It's called the Boeverijen, and children can enjoy climbing, building huts, and playing with water here.

Besides the Mastbos, there are many other nature reserves in Breda where autumn is at its most beautiful and where you can enjoy a nice walk. For example, check out the walks from the forest ranger and discover the green world of Breda.

Royal visit to Breda

From 11 October 2025, Breda will be dedicated to two historical figures who shaped the city and the country: René of Chalon and William of Orange.

At the Grote Kerk Breda, the exhibition René! I’m Still Standing. is opening. By the impressive tomb of René of Chalon, which is brought to the Grote Kerk Breda especially for the exhibition, you will discover artworks from twelve (inter)national creators. 

At the Stedelijk Museum Breda, Willem – The Price of Freedom. This unique collaboration with Museum Prinsenhof Delft tells the complete story of William of Orange: from his youth in Breda to his tragic death in Delft.

At the Castle Square, you can see the exhibition History Rhymes. The exhibition connects the past and present in a surprising way. Eight artworks, specially created for this project, bring the lives and legacy of René of Chalon and William of Orange to life. Not by simply looking back, but by linking their stories to the questions and themes of today.
