Once a significant inland port, Zevenbergen in North Brabant is a town where history revolves around water and sugar. The old harbor, recently restored to its former glory, is the town's centerpiece, lined with historic warehouses and elegant houses. The town's prosperity grew from the sugar beet industry, a legacy explored in local heritage sites. Key sights include the impressive St. Bartholomew's Church and the former town hall. For a taste of local life, try a 'Bossche Bol' pastry in a nearby café. The best time to visit is late spring or summer for pleasant weather.
