In Brabant, you can walk along Vincent Van Gogh’s favourite landscapes.

Brabant, a province in the middle of our beautiful country, The Netherlands. But this province has a lot of history since it was the ‘homeland’ of Vincent van Gogh.

Vincent was born and raised in Brabant and even made his first masterpiece The Potato Eaters here. Many of his well-known paintings are painted in Brabant actually. This is why the province has made a special ‘Van Gogh’ tour, which takes you to several highlights throughout Vincent’s life.
