Vlissingen

One of the most vibrant cities of Zealand is without a doubt Vlissingen. You can make a wonderful walk over the 2 kilometre long boulevard in every season. Here and there you will even see some sailor history between the new buildings.

The beaches of Vlissingen are provided with all the conveniences. Restaurants and bars, showers and toilets are all present. From the boulevard, it is easy to access the beach with a stroller or a wheelchair. Water sporters will also definitely feel at home here. You are aloud to use a jet ski on the water. Let yourself be persuaded to take a boat trip by the boulevard!

Vlissingen breathes a maritime atmosphere. Standing on the boulevard you are so close to the harbour it looks like you can almost touch the sea-going vessels. In the centre you find the Vierwinden square, a square with a pleasant atmosphere where it is nice to spend some time on one of the many terraces. Here and there you will still see some old house fronts, but most was lost during the Second World War. The remains of the Gevangentoren and the Keizersbolwerk, with a bomb-free hall you can still walk through, are very special.

Want to go shopping? With its many shops and even a covered shopping centre you won´t easily get bored in Vlissingen.

The belvedere of the Arsenaal offers you a fantastic view of Walcheren, the Westerschelde and the North Sea. The reptile zoo 'Iguana´ is nice for children; they can literally visit with the sharks here. It is the home of Amphibians, reptiles and insects from all over the world. The maritime museum 'Het Arsenaal´ is situated at the harbour. Here you will find all about life in and around the water. You can also visit the Michiel de Ruyter-harbour.This is a restored harbour with a lot of yachts docking.
