Wandering through Historic Brielle

The fortified town of Brielle owes its reputation to its capture by the Beggars on April 1, 1572. Every year on that date it is busy in Brielle, because then this joyful event is celebrated extensively. The streets are decorated in a 16th-century atmosphere and the game for the key to the city is reenacted by the enthusiastic population. Afterwards, civilians and soldiers enjoy a delicious Beggar beer together in the 'taverns of Den Briel'.

You can enjoy walking along the many historic monuments and places, the nice boutiques and cozy restaurants.
