North Brabant is a province in the Netherlands. Despite its name, it is located on the southern part of the country. Perhaps for the same reason, the province is also known simply as Brabant since 2001. It covers 4,919 square kilometers of land and 162 square kilometers of water, and has a population of about 2.4 million people (2012 estimate).

North Brabant is bordered by Limburg in the east, Zeeland in the west and the Meuse River in the north, while the Belgian province of Limburg and Antwerp are in the south. The capital of North Brabant is 's-Hertogenbosch while the biggest city is Eindhoven. There are 67 municipalities in North Brabant, as almost every town is a separate municipality.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
