That Breda is a city in the green, you actually experience best during a canal cruise through the singels. Although you pass right along the city centre, the hustle and bustle of the city seems far away. A cruise in Breda is an experience for young and old. Cruise company De Nieuwe Mark sails with electrically powered boats. This way, you sail quietly, sustainably and environmentally friendly. 

The skipper tells about all kinds of interesting sights along the route, such as the Spanjaardsgat, the Castle of Breda, the Dome (former prison) and Chassé Park.
