A weekend trip full of history, nature and hospitality: Brabant, the place to be!

If you’re looking forward to your next holiday or weekend away, we’d like to introduce you to the West Brabant region in the heart of the Dutch Flemish Delta! This region in the province of North Brabant, close to Antwerp and South Holland, is renowned for its hospitality, its three local specialities, a rich cycling tradition, characteristic fortified towns, plenty of water and beautiful countryside.

Not only will you find luxury hotels, often housed in unusual historic buildings, but also a wide selection of B&Bs and holiday homes, as well as unique types of accommodation such as an aeroplane, houseboat or a raft on the water. We’d like to inspire you with three weekend trip ideas. As far as distance is concerned, all three locations can be combined easily, so it’s possible to put together your favourite weekend yourself.
