Middelburg

Middelburg is the historical town of Zeeland. Situated on the island of Walcheren, it has more than 1,200 buildings of historical interest, including the old town hall, the ‘Lange Jan’ or Long John Tower, the domed Koepelkerk church and the abbey, which is home to the museum. These are all surrounded by streets lined with large distinctive houses. Most of the town´s listed buildings date back to the 17th century, the prosperous period in Dutch history known as the Golden Age. The harbours, also dating from this period, have largely been preserved. Why not moor your yacht at the heart of this atmospheric town or take a boat trip along the canals?

Terneuzen

Terneuzen, situated on the mighty Westerschelde estuary, is a city that has spent centuries working hard to build its maritime status. The dikes along the estuary, the lock complex and the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal with its international commerce are evidence of this, but there are also plenty of leisure activities here too! Modern-day Terneuzen offers something for everybody, including a theatre, cinema, indoor ski centre and the longest high street in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.

Veere

A small quaint harbour, ‘al fresco’ cafes, and delicious food, all set against the backdrop of this beautiful and historic region. Nearby is the fantastic recreational area, the Veerse Meer Lake. Perhaps the most striking buildings are the former town hall, the Campveerse toren (Campveerse tower) and the Grote Kerk (Great Church), from the top of which, you have a marvellous view over the whole of the island of Walcheren. Along the quay you will find pretty warehouses and merchants’ houses, and there are lovely courtyards everywhere, giving you the feeling you have just stepped back in time.

Vlissingen

Vlissingen, a town with a maritime past and present, lies on the banks of the Westerschelde estuary. We can recommend visiting Vlissingen to blow away the cobwebs as you walk along the Netherlands’ longest promenade. You can almost touch the ships as they sail by!

There’s plenty to see on the promenade. On one side of the promenade you’ll come face to face with the seafaring hero, Michiel de Ruijter, while on the other you'll hear the sound of the Aeolian harp. In the middle, outdoor cafés, hotels and restaurants give you a chance to relax.

Zierikzee

Although just a small city on Schouwen-Duiveland there are a huge number of historic buildings to discover here, from imposing merchant houses to small gabled cottages, and from the old gate houses to the remarkable harbour. You can see Zierikzee from a long way off thanks to Sint-Lievensmonstertoren (Saint-Livinus Monster Tower) which is 62 metres high. In the mediaeval harbour, you can go on board and explore the historic ships moored there. Want to get to know Zierikzee better? The Tourist Information Office (VVV) organises a guided tour every Tuesday in July and August.
