North-Brabant (commonly called Brabant) is a province in the south of The Netherlands. It's bordered by Belgium in the south, the Meuse River (Maas) in the north, Limburg in the east and Zeeland in the west.

[edit] Understand
The southern provinces have historically been the Roman Catholic area of the Netherlands, in contrast with the protestantism in the rest of the country. That's still well visible in the churches and cathedrals. It's also said that the catholic way of life brings a more bourgondic lifestyle. It is not wise to talk about traveling in "Holland", people from North Brabant (as well as Limburg) live in the Netherlands.
