With as many monuments as years of history - more than 800! - Bergen op Zoom is a city with surprising stories and amazing secrets. Stroll through narrow streets, across old squares and past quirky monuments and (re)experience the city's glorious and eventful past. Take a walk around the fortifications and let a guide elaborate on the 80-year war. Or learn all about the religious and military history of this still unknown gem for many.
Accessible monuments
During the summer season, the city's five main monuments can be visited anyway. For wheelchair accessibility, check the website of Stadsgidsen Bergen op Zoom, as unfortunately not all monuments are at floor-level. However, children can enter everywhere. With het Markiezenhof, the Mozesbrug, de Gevangenpoort, the Maagd, the City Hall, the Peperbus, the synagoge and the St Gertrudiskerk, it's easy to fill a pleasant day with revealing surprises and historical monuments. In the words of one enthusiastic visitor, "Insanely beautiful monuments, very cool to go on a city tour, what fun stories were told at de Gevangenpoort."
Something for everyone
Families with children, young couples and grandparents alike marvel here: "Very surprising what you find in Bergen op Zoom , not normal what cultural treasures can be found here." Thanks to the multilingual guided tours, international guests can also learn everything about the city's 800-plus years of history. For example, the tour around 80 years of liberation is very popular with foreign visitors. Although you might get to know the city best on a themed tour such as the Lentavender tour.
