Breukelen
This tiny Utrecht-province town on the river Vecht gave its name to the New York City borough of Brooklyn, a connection that draws curious visitors to what is otherwise a heritage-dense riverside settlement with listed buildings in its compact centre and easy access to the Loosdrechtse Plassen lakes nearby.
