Where to stay in Ginneken
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Ginneken reads as villa country. Names on its monument list, among them Huis Trianon, Villa Mon Plaisir, Sunny Cottage and Carmel's White House, point to large private houses rather than to a hotel quarter. Breda itself carries the room supply, and the Ginnekenmarkt is an easy target from there. Visitors come for Huis Wolfslaar, Vrederust and the Sint-Laurentiuskerk.
