Getting Around in Breda
Edit ThisBreda Transportation facilities have been systematically planned to ensure the comfort of overseas visitors. Breda is among the ten biggest cities of Netherlands. However, it still seems largely inhabited and untouched by the nuisance of commercialization. At most times, it seems as if the number of foreign visitors outdo the locals. Some key features of Breda transportation facilities have been explained below:
Getting Around by Car
The city center can be interpreted as the central point to pick-up car rentals. Renting a car is easy and visitors need to pay a minimum amount as the security amount. Traffic can be slow at times since the safety of pedestrians and cyclists is given serious consideration. Rental cars too need to be parked in dedicated parking zones for which there are hourly and daily charges.
Getting Around by Public Transportation
Breda has two primary bus-stations. The first one is located opposite to the train station. The second bus-station is located at the far end of the train station, near its departure zone. Local and inter-city buses run throughout the day. Veolia bus-liners can be commonly seen ferrying visitors to nearby towns. For visiting the prominent sights, the Interliner Bus service can be used.
Getting Around By Bike & Foot
Breda has dedicated biking lanes. Further, numerous free bike-parking zones have been established. In fact, walking on foot, combined with some biking is the recommended way to explore Breda. All of the traffic crossings/squares explain the directions in English and other, common languages. Visitors can rent bikes from the rentals located around the Central Station.
Transportation Tip
Visitors who arrive in Breda by train don’t need to seek a car-rental. A wiser, money-saving approach is to seek a shared ride in a train-taxi. Cabs are in limited numbers in Breda and the charges can be quite high.
