Top 28 things to do and attractions in Vlissingen

Sure! Here's the English translation: It’s one of those unexpected but amazing places you come across in Vlissingen. It’s a very well-curated museum, with a wonderful display of the maritime world of the Zeeland region. It’s highly interactive and a real pleasure to explore.

Very entertaining and informative museum. I really recommend the free audio tour. The museum isn't very big (~1.5 hours), but I feel like kids will like the way the exhibitions are presented, with some interactive activities. The building itself is relatively old, but inside the museum is pretty modern (including some free lockers). The view from the 'small tower' on top of the building of Vlissingen is nice as well.

I enjoyed visiting Zeeland maritime muZEEum. The exhibits were fascinating, especially the detailed ship models and stories about the region’s maritime history. It’s a great place to learn and immerse yourself in Zeeland’s rich connection to the sea. Definitely worth a visit!

It's easy to see why the muZEEum earned a European Museum of the Year nomination in 2004. The building itself is impressive, and the interactive exhibits are cleverly designed, making for an enjoyable 90-minute visit. The museum focuses on Dutch heroes and celebrities of the 17th and 18th centuries, including Michiel de Ruyter and the Lampsins brothers. However, I left feeling uneasy. While the museum acknowledges their involvement in the slave trade, it downplays the brutal reality of their business dealings. These figures were part of a system that forcibly transported an estimated 600,000 enslaved Africans to the Caribbean, with countless individuals perishing during the horrific Middle Passage and in the brutal conditions of the plantations. Ships sailed regularly from Vlissingen and other Dutch ports first to Africa to load their human cargo and take them to the Americas and returning with the exotic goods that fueled the Dutch economy and the fortunes of men like de Ruyter and the Lampsins. While this history isn't entirely absent from the museum's narrative, it lacks a crucial human rights perspective, failing to adequately convey the immense suffering and injustice inflicted upon the enslaved people. Ultimately, this omission left me disappointed.

Wonderful place to visit. You can see pretty much everything in less than an hour. Do not skip the introductory video in the beginning of the route. It is a masterpiece. Also the view from the top is worth seeing. Free for museum card holders.

friendly stuff. almost everything wheelchair accessible. Great audio tour in German. also available in English. I especially enjoyed the old letters from family members and the parts about the roles of women

Gewoon geweldig I live in Terneuzen we went so many times to Vlissingen but never hier . Today decided with my daughter tospend some quality time in the summer vacation. Is so much to see ! We've learned a lot today . Every room surprises you never dull. Great for kids .easy to look at all the objects. Time goes by without noticing. Chapeau!

Was very nice visiting here, and I would recommend it. The employee at the counter was extremely welcoming and lovely, however we did think the terrariums are run down and on the small side. The animals look good, but I hope there could be some renovations and real plants. The outside does not do it justice! Very welcoming

The zoo is located in a historic building in the heart of the city, which gives it a quite unique setting. There are many of the biggest reptiles, amphibians and insects in there that you will ever see. We were extremely lucky to witness one of the giant pythons move around in its terrarium - it was amazing to watch for the kids and us as well. There are multiple toilets on the route you are taking, and also snack machines offering extremely fair prices for snacks and drinks. The lady at the entry was extremely friendly and helpful.

The zoo was setup in a historical building. It hosts very interesting reptiles. Most of them looked quite happy in their houses (I am not sure how a reptile can look happy though) still it is sad to see them in captivity. The exception is the albino piton. It could not survive in wild nature so it is better for it to be kept there. There are also a few skeletons in the exhibition and the one belonged to a piton was really impressive. You cannot enter for free with your museum cards. Get ready to pay around 8 euros per person. There is a small discount for kids.

WORST ZOO I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. If you want to support animals being mistreated then go ahead. Most of the cages were tiny (even when there were 5+ animals in there), pretty much all of the plants were fake (plastic), there was water missing in the cage with the big turtles, there was no real sand or mud in the cages (it was plastic). I could continue this list, i won’t. I also could have taken more pictures. We left early because we couldn’t handle it. I honestly do not know how this is legal.

Lots of animals to see. Rescuing abandoned animals is a great thing to do. Works have like to get more info on the animals, though most have at least a species tag.

Yes, it does have a big collection of various reptiles and even uncommon ones at that, but we thought that "the largest indoor reptile zoo in Europe" would have a bigger wow-factor. To put it into perspective, I would be curious how much larger the zoo is compared to reptilian sections of other zoos. So, for me, the statement "the largest indoor reptile zoo in Europe" raised expectations a bit too much, if I'm honest. Nevertheless, it is informative, there are some really special animals and stories in the exhibits, and overall it is a great option to spend time there with family. Can recommend it, especially if someone is into lizards (and similar), snakes, etc. 4/5!

This place is a wonderful addition to anyones day in Vlissingen. The animals are very well cared of and have big and beautiful habitats with everything the animal needs. The structure is remarkable, every habitat has been placed in the building in a clever way to still make sure the original features of the building are showing!

Coming from a country with lots of beautiful beaches (Philippines), i can say that Zeeland beach is one of the beaches that is worth visiting in europe. Unlike other beaches that i have visited in EU, this one here has fine sand and clear water; but it can still improve -- seaweeds floating around so much in the afternoon due to strong waves. If you dont have a hotelroom nearby, it would be nice to rent one of these colorful huts. Dont forget to take picture of them too, they are like the "icon" of Zeeland 😉

Vlissingen Beach presents a breathtaking vista, characterized by its dual-sided view that seamlessly merges natural beauty with architectural elegance. Flanked by striking buildings that embody both modern design and historical charm, the beach offers a unique atmosphere where leisure meets sophistication. The gentle waves lapping at the shore create a serene backdrop, while the surrounding structures enhance the coastal landscape, inviting visitors to indulge in a picturesque experience.

Nice beach, clean, not many seashell, so it doesn't hurt the feet, no dog allowed in the summer, there was many jellyfishs in the water but they're quite harmless. We were there when the tide is low, so it's perfect for small kids.

A creative beautiful place with a great story behind. Just enjoy the Sun!!!

It's fine, the beach is quite clean, although the water quality is not great. I don't know if this is a blue flag beach but the region should put more effort in improving the water quality, for us humans and the environment !

Beautiful

Relaxed

Nice old ship of the Dutch Navy.

(Translated by Google) This is an old dry dock in the former port area of ​​the city of Vlissingen. It has been restored and beautifully integrated into the new environment that is still evolving. Hopefully the city will manage to turn this into something beautiful and get people excited to take a look here in addition to the famous boulevard. (Original) Dit is een oud droogdok in het voormalig havengebied van de stad Vlissingen. Het is gerestaureerd en mooi ingepast in de nieuwe omgeving die nog volop in beweging is.

Recommended • what a great day at Piet Hein with our kids. Delicious food combined with a friendly and swift service. You can pay with your credit card. They have also a takeaway kiosk.

Very cosy place. Directly in front of the beach!

Very few vegan options and quite pricy like all the places in that area but quite alright. Nice staff, cozy, good view.

For a restaurant at the beach the food was quite good and the service very friendly

Perfect location with okayish interior bur waitress are not really delivering service. They are more reactiv and we always must come to the desk to order something.

Only came here for a drink, nice view and friendly service!

Great place , very friendly, dogs allowed

The pirate bit was a bit small and with young kids (5, 3 and 2) we got through it in about 10 minutes. Nice play area, but again only going to take 20 mins before the kids are bored. The aquarium was the best bit, but not huge. Not really suitable for kids under 3, I'd say.

The attractions are old and dusty, not all of them work properly. Some don't work at all. The only thing nice was the aquarium and the tower. The rest should be urgently updated and fixed. It's too expensive for the quality of what they offer! For me, family and friends (a group of 4 adults and 3kids) it was really disappointing and a waste of tine/money.

My 2-year old enjoyed the fish and the pirates, but the rest of the experience was basically exactly what all the other reviews say. The place is outdated, the basins/aquariums a bit dirty. There was almost no staff so the ship simulator just sat there doing nothing. With some renovations/more staff/better aquariums it might be worth the money.

We spent two hours there. At first we were disappointed - the exhibition on the top on pirates is not really interesting for kids nor for adults, somewhat carelessly made (translations have not been proofread by native speakers). The game zone in the middle was fun. The aquarium zone on the bottom level is good for kids but very little info on the animals is provided and some fish are clearly sick (inflamed gills @ the dog sharks in the touch basin f.ex). It was worth the money nonetheless; but two hours were not enough; and we only understood the idea of being on a ship with deck, inside a ship and on the sea floor / climbing the mast 2/3 through the experience. It is kind of sad because they could make so much more out of their aquarium and the pirate exhibition, and could improve the experience with better guidance.

Nice aquarium. The tower was very nice to visit. Restaurant pricey and serving very slow. We waited for half an hour for our food and our young kids were out of patience. The food was REALLY not that tasty.

Not worth its money. At all. Not only entrance (they charge 3 year olds), parking (there's a free parking available but good luck finding it as there are no - zero - arrows towards it from the entrance and the closeby parking is 2€ / hour, also the restaurant: you'll think *ok its overpriced but all theme park restaurants are* but (1) it's not a theme park and (2) wait until you see the portion. You're practically forced to ask for extra fries. (We complained about being expected to share one small packet of mayo and mini basket of fries with two people, got promised extra, got nothing. To be fair, we did manage to negotiate a discount, and the taste of what we did get was good.) For an attraction aimed at kids, only two baby seats for the entire restaurant... I saw quite some parents balancing babies on their lap to feed them. Although the inside is done up nice, fitting the theme, you quickly get the feeling its all rather platonic. The aquarium is (nice but) nothing special. The animated skeletons and pirate dolls are... Well... In a theme park you get those things to amuse you while you're waiting to get on the ride. Here it's just that, without the ride. There's a person making balloon swords, and this seems to be (expected to be) a very prominent part of the adventure. Against all expectations (I'm certainly not planning to go back) it manages to get overcrowded in the afternoon. It gets stuffy and hot. You don't feel comfortable letting go of your kids hand for a second. The last floor featuring a bar, has some attractions. A kid climbing area is free - for everything else you pay extra. Again trying to be fair here: similar games in theme parks tend to also cost extra. Although the entrance fee there covers most rides and attractions, whereas here... It seems to have all the bad points of a theme park, and none of the good ones. My conclusion: drive to Plopsaland instead. It costs a bit more, but you'll get much better value for money.

We loved the aquarium where you can touch the fishes. The playground for the children is also very nice. The venue is a bit overpriced though.

In my opinion, just a tourist trap… -1⭐️ The pub isn’t really clean, the tables are sticky, the toilets are a mess. -1 ⭐️ The waiter was motivated like a sloth. Doesn’t cared about our wishes, doesn’t cared about our opinion at the end of the lunch nor even said good bye to us when we left. -1⭐️ There are hardly vegetarian alternatives. You can’t change the burger, even if it is mentioned in the menu. The ordered salad was a joke. 15,50€ for 5 slices of goat cheese and a handful of green stuff. We then asked for some white bread, as my wife would leave hungry otherwise. We got dark bread instead with some topings we didn’t ordered and payed another 3,50€. - 1⭐️ The Burger patty tastes like sausage, the bun was cold and fluffy and the fries were soft. All in all we will certainly not come back - maybe you shouldn't either…

We ordered the cheese burger and fries. The staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us advise on the menu. The burger and fries were really nice, we really enjoyed it and I really liked the side salad with the mustard vinegarette. The service was great 👍 I really liked that we could laugh and joke with the staff. The location was great and the place has a very cosmopolitan feel, chilled and relaxed which we enjoyed. Great food, decent beer, great location, friendly staff we would definitely 💯% visit again when I come back to Vlissingen.

We had kibbeling and 1 kg mussel, both was delicious, kibbeling fried a bit much. Mussel was clean - no sand at all. Wonderful things was live music, we would come back here. Recommended.

You have to try the entire Menü Card. All is very lovely presentated, the Fish is fresh an from high Quality. We stay 2 Days at this Restaurant… recomended! And im a Chef in my own Restaurant in Eifel. 4 or less Stars? Whats wrong with you…

The best bar in a city, if you wanna have some fun especially friday saturday thats the right place to go, also trough the week a lot of stuff happening, live music etc. Highly recommend

A very nice and tidy place with a pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, and good drinks. Reasonable prices for the excellent location. The waiter tried to steal my phone – 4 out of 5 stars.

Really great bar! Grea service and great atmosphere. Really worth a visit if you are in town - very hard to find a fault with it

Good

The statue of Dutch admiral. Apparently many Dutch people also don't know who he is. Many birds sit on his head and paint him white. Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter is widely celebrated and regarded as one of the most skilled admirals in history, De Ruyter is arguably most famous for his achievements with the Dutch Navy during the Anglo-Dutch Wars. But not many people visit. He fought the English and French forces and scored several critical victories, with the Raid on the Medway being the most famous among them.

Awsome place to visit for some good history info

Nice view at 'harbor' mouth and pilot ships

Top

Nice place with great view.

Its okay. Pretty dirty.

The shop has been taken over by AH, and is now even more expensive then ever. 100 grams of m&m's for €4.75 Cinema itself is still very nice!

Good cinema, obviously a great cinematic atmosphere inside, food is a little on the expensive side but not too bad either. It's probably going to be changed into a different cinema company and be renovated. But for the time being it's a great place.

The cinema has a lot of potential, and has a really nice cafe, but why doesn’t it have airconditioning? It was unbearably stuffy watching the movie, and the cinema smelled really bad with everyone’s sweat.

Great movie and small cinema

The movie started 45 minutes late but everything was really nice. The sound was awesome and the screen is just massive. I think the prices are a little high for what you get. I do think the idea to have jurassic park followed by the new jurassic world was amazing idea.

Comfortiful seats,you can choose your own seats when you already at the cinema. So you a little tip fome little bit more early to your movie go on of the first trow the door and choose wherever you want to sit 🤩

This is the cinema I grew up with. It has always been very clean and the staff is very welcoming towards guests. The prices of food are as to be expected, cinema like expensive. But overall I would definitely recommend going here to watch a movie. It currently houses one of the largest screens in Europe if I recall correctly. Definitely worth a watch!

Must see in the Walcheren/Vlissingen area. Very engaged stuff, value for money and stunning location (former church).

This is a grand stop! The artist, Jo Dumon Tak, is really interesting and has done some incredible panoramas. A properly done panoramic painting is a huge undertaking: requiring complex perspective calculations. If it is done right, the viewer is not simply looking at a painting--instead you are INSIDE the painting. Dumon Tak's use of color and light make the panorama experience very realistic. One of the pieces places you inside a brilliantly green forest. Another puts your feet on a wet, sandy beach. Each is displayed individually, with no distractions. This enhances the experience enormously. In addition to quite a few panoramas, Dumok Tak shows the work of his students and various smaller works he has completed. The building itself and the history of Walcheren is really interesting; the island was completely flooded during the liberation of Holland. Panorama Walcheren in Vlissingen is a jewel not to be missed.

Nice place to spend half an hour till an hour. The price is low so can’t go wrong here.

(Translated by Google) Very nice little museum. The employees are very friendly. Dogs are allowed. Accessibility is a given. The pictures are really nice to look at and sometimes you feel like you are in the picture itself. Each picture is described in detail. It's really worth taking a look. It's also just fun to sit in front of the picture and look at it. You can always discover something new. (Original) Sehr schönes kleines Museum. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. Hunde sind erlaubt. Barrierefreiheit ist gegeben. Die Bilder sind super schön zum anschauen man fühlt sich teilweise wie im Bild selbst. Jedes Bild ist ausführlich beschrieben. Es lohnt sich wirklich mal vorbei zu schauen. Es macht auch einfach Spaß sich vor das Bild zu setzen und es zu betrachten. Man kann immer wieder etwas neues entdecken.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum! Definitely worth a visit. Very friendly staff. (Original) Mooi museum! Zeker de moeite waard voor een bezoek. Heel vriendelijk personeel.

(Translated by Google) An overwhelming painting exhibition. There's big, there's bigger, and there's biggest. These paintings fall into the latter category. Anyone who knows Walcheren will recognize many scenes, from the Boulevard of Domburg to the Boulevard of Vlissingen. Very impressive! (Original) Een overweldigende schilderijententoonstelling. Je hebt groot, je hebt groter, en je hebt grootst. Deze schilderijen vallen in de laatste categorie. Wie Walcheren kent zal veel taferelen herkennen, van de Boulevard van Domburg tot de Boulevard van Vlissingen. Zeer indrukwekkend!

(Translated by Google) What a special place. Stunning panoramic paintings. Definitely worth seeing. (Original) Wat een bijzondere plek. Super mooie panorama schilderijen. Echt de moeite waard om te bekijken.

Beautiful old church, well maintained and good atmosphere, not heavy and serious

Beautiful church, fit for good liturgy. Choral evensong every first Sunday of the month.

God place for reflection

Nice church

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) The church was founded between 1308 and 1328. The lower (stone) part of the St. Jacob's Tower dates from this time. The Gothic spire was replaced in 1501 by a wooden crown that resembles the current one. The carillon in the tower is the 4th carillon in the church and dates from 1951. In 1911 a major fire broke out in the church, causing serious damage to the church. This fire caused the spire to collapse and land on the rest of the church building. A large part of the furnishings was lost, as well as the church organs. The northern cross arm was previously intended as an English church; this part was shielded by a wall. After the fire, a large part of this was also destroyed. The English moved to the Nieuwe Kerk in 1914 on the site of the current town hall on Paul Krugerstraat. There were once 466 graves in the church, but after the fire of 1911, only a small number were put back for decoration. Michiel de Ruyter was baptized and married in this church. The St. Jacobs Church can be rented for your own events and is ideal for a trade fair, company presentation, reunion or other meetings. (Original) De kerk werd tussen 1308 en 1328 gesticht. Uit deze tijd stamt het onderste ( stenen ) gedeelte van de Sint-Jacobstoren. De gotische spits werd in 1501 vervangen door een houten bekroning die op de huidige lijkt. Het carillon dat zich in de toren bevindt is al het 4de carillon van de kerk en dateert uit 1951. In 1911 brak er in de kerk een grote brand uit , waardoor de kerk zwaar beschadigd werd. Door deze brand stortte de torenspits naar beneden en kwam terecht op de rest van het kerkgebouw. Een groot deel van de inrichting ging verloren , alsmede de kerkorgels. De noordelijke dwarsarm was vroeger bestemd als Engelse kerk ; dit gedeelte was afgeschermd door middel van een muur . Na de brand is ook een groot gedeelte hiervan verwoest. De Engelsen verhuisden in 1914 naar de Nieuwe Kerk op de plek van het huidige stadhuis aan de Paul Krugerstraat. Ooit lagen er 466 graven in de kerk , maar na de brand van 1911 is er maar een klein aantal teruggelegd ter versiering. In deze kerk is Michiel de Ruyter gedoopt en getrouwd. De Sint - Jacobskerk is te huur voor uw eigen evenementen en uitstekend geschikt voor een beurs , bedrijfspresentatie , reünie of andere bijeenkomsten .

Het was een geweldige ervaring met fantastische muziek en artietsen uit de jaren 90 op een super locatie... Muziek zoals het bedoeld is 🤩

Nice small museum

(Translated by Google) A fantastic museum about the history of shipbuilding in Vlissingen. Located in the old first aid station of the Scheldewerf shipyard, it's staffed by super-enthusiastic volunteers who will share the shipyard's rich history with you. If you're in Vlissingen, you MUST visit this charming museum! The museum is equipped with a stair lift, making it accessible for people with limited mobility. (Original) Ontzettend leuk museum over de geschiedenis van de scheepsbouw in Vlissingen. Gevestigd in de oude Verbandkamer ( ehbo post) van de Scheldewerf en bemand door super enthousiaste vrijwilligers die je meenemen in de rijke historie van de werf . Als je in Vlissingen bent MOET je dit sympathieke museum bezoeken ! Het museum is voorzien van een traplift, en hierdoor ook toegankelijk voor mensen die minder mobiel zijn.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum. Nostalgia oozes from the building and surroundings. Nice film about the construction of the Willem Ruys. Good information about the Scheldt shipyard. Recognizable for enthusiasts. You can spend a few hours here with the museum and surroundings. Nice volunteers with story. (Original) Leuk museum.Nostalgie druipt van het gebouw en omgeving.Mooie film over de bouw van de Willem Ruys.Goede info rondom de scheepswerf de Schelde.Herkenbaar voor liefhebber.Je kan hier rustig een een aantal uren rondbrengen met museum en omgeving.Leuke vrijwilligers met verhaal.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum about the history of shipyard De Schelde in Vlissingen. An active volunteer tells you something about the museum first, and then you can see everything yourself, if you have any questions you can ask the volunteer. A film is also shown, but it is very long, in my opinion it could have been a bit shorter. But for the rest a very interesting museum, definitely worth it. (Original) Zeer interessant museum over de geschiedenis van scheepswerf De Schelde in Vlissingen. Een actieve vrijwilligster vertelt je eerst wat over het museum, en dan kun je zelf alles bekijken, bij vragen kun je bij de vrijwilliger terecht. Een wordt ook een film vertoond, maar die duurt wel erg lang, wat mij betreft had dat wat korter gemogen. Maar voor de rest een zeer interessant museum, zeker de moeite waard.

I don't feel like I paid the right price ,since the area is still constructing and some of the games (the ones I was actually looking forward to the most) are not available . When I tried to talk about this with one of the staff his answer was a bit rude and he looked like he didn't care that we are paying the full price but not for the full experience . Other than that it's fun and nicely arranged. Also in really hot days you get a free slush puppie 😉

It was fun to play bowling, the staff is nice.But the bowling alley wasn't Bohnert

The bad: a bit chaotic, very noisy due to new bowling alley construction. Paid for SkyRide but was broken so received one arcade coin in return. Lasershoot delayed due to technical problems. Not enough parking spaces, needed to park in the street. Tables shortage and table cleanup could benefit from frequency increase. The good: friendly and enthousiastic staff, kids had good fun.

Payed full price for some games to still be under construction and 2 games were not working. Complained about this to a memeber if staff and he didn’t know what to say and rudely walked away. Apart from that it was fun and a very nice place.

It's hectic when it's busy,many young people are working and the are LOST when it's busy.... very long waiting for food

Great activities, just too many guests for the few inexperienced staff to handle. Shame, really, they're working really hard.

It's fun but you won't enjoy it for longer then a hour.

It's a historic and beautiful place.

Nice memorial area to the Battle of the Scheldt Nice views walking along the water front. Plenty of history to absorb Easy parking on Konigsweg and a short walk via Commandoweg to access it.

Very epic place. Inspiring.

A lovely sea side place now, but in 1944; a place of extreme violence. For our tomorrow, they gave their today.

Visiting the memorial and hearing the stories in Netherlands gave me a deeper appreciation of WWII.

Well done outdoor museum about WW2 Allied operation

Really nice and quiet place to visit

Good situated within walking distance to the beach and city center. Very nice staff. The beach houses direct on the beach look very nice. Also the dune houses. We stayed in an Urban Villa: Quite noisy place. You hear chairs moving from neighbour villa. If you open the window towards the street the noise level was also too high for us. Mattress far to soft for us. Was like a hammock:-). But of course these are all topics we did not found very appealing. If you don't bother with this then it is a lovely place.

Best place with kids, private beach, from parking place they move your suitcases straight to your holiday house on the beach. follow me on instagraam for more photos b.schroner :)

Stayed on the beach house for four days.. We (me, wife, and 6 month boy) thoroughly loved it

Stayed a week with my family. Loved it.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful park, but there's nothing to do there, no pool or restaurant. At the reception, you can rent a bike (e-bike or regular bike). The dune lodge sleeps six, and has a large upstairs bedroom and two standard rooms. Air conditioning on the stairs provides pleasant cooling. There's also a large kitchen and a lovely terrace. Wi-Fi is free. (Original) Mooi park maar er is niks te doen op het park geen zwembad of restaurant, bij de receptie, kun je een fiets huren e bike if gewone fiets , duinlodge voor 6 personen mooi , en een grote slaapkamer boven en 2 normale kamers , op de trap hangt een airco die het lekker verkoelt . Verder een grote keuken en een mooi terras , WiFi is gratis.

Nice view from an historic view point. Friday you can visit the working windmill

Very cool look into a old windmill

Beautiful Mill...typical dutch landscape

Excellent place to find solitude!

Seen here and throughout Holland

Must see in Vlissingen

Great

Best cinema experience in the Netherlands, spacious and has a unique library and a big restaurant that serves local craft beers too. Happily recommend to locals and visiting tourists such a wide range of movies. @Blindambition

(Translated by Google) Wow, what a beautiful evening, we from show band Feeling XL are happy that we were able to throw a great party. (Original) Wauw wat een mooie avond, wij van showband Feeling XL zijn blij dat we er een mooi feestje van hebben mogen maken.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic festival that you should definitely attend. Always a very nice varied selection of films. Hats off to the organization that has been organizing great festivals for years. (Original) Een fantastisch festival waar je zeker naar toe moet gaan. Altijd een hele mooie gevarieerde selectie van films. Petje af voor de organisatie die al jarenlang door mooie festival organiseren.

(Translated by Google) The festival offers a nice program. In recent years, the choices have become less and less daring, but still enough to enjoy as an arthouse film lover. The catering industry is a mess (poor flow and few adequate staff), but that is now part of the deal. So close to the boulevard that there is still time to enjoy the sea between films. (Original) Het festival biedt een leuk programma. De laatste jaren steeds minder gewaagd qua keuzes, maar nog steeds genoeg om als arthouse filmliefhebber van te genieten. De horeca is een puinhoop (slechte doorstroom en weinig adequaat personeel), maar dat hoort er inmiddels bij. Zo dicht bij de boulevard dat er tussen de films door ook nog tijd is om te genieten van de zee.

(Translated by Google) Finally it is possible to go to the cinema again, but not yet as usual. XL room is great, nice space. and the entrance to the hall was nicely decorated thematically to the film "The Battle of the Scheldt". (Original) eindelijk weer mogelijk om naar de Bios te gaan, nog niet als vanouds . XL zaal is prima lekker de ruimte. en de toegang tot de zaal was mooi thematisch bij de film "De slag om de Schelde" behorend ingericht.

(Translated by Google) Another great opening of Film by the Sea with a great film and fun gala party. Good start to 10 days with undoubtedly beautiful films. (Original) Weer een mooie opening van Film by the Sea met een geweldige film en gezellig gala feest. Goed begin van 10 dagen met ongetwijfeld prachtige films.

(Translated by Google) As every year, fantastically arranged. I enjoyed it. It felt like a week of vacation (Original) Zoals elk jaar weer fantastisch geregeld. Ik heb genoten. Het voelde als een dikke week vakantie

(Translated by Google) It looks interesting from the outside but you can't see it from the inside. But that doesn't mean it's an interesting piece of history. (Original) Se ve interesante desde fuera pero no se ve por dentro. Pero no quita que sea un interesante trozo de historia.

(Translated by Google) This bunker is now a museum bunker. Unfortunately it was closed when I visited. On an information board we still find out a lot of information about the defensive line of Vlissingen and Co. The entire section of the bank is otherwise peppered with interesting and historical things. There is an old windmill, a restored Wallabachnitt with cannons, a fortification and much more. This place is particularly exciting for those interested in history. (Original) Dieser Bunker ist heute ein Museumsbunker. Er war leider bei meinem Besuch geschlossen. Auf einer Informationstafel erfahren wir trotzdem eine Menge an Informationen über die Verteidigungslinie von Vlissingen und Co. Der gesamte Uferabschnitt ist ansonsten gespickt mit interessanten und historischen Sachen. Es gibt eine alte Windmühle, einen restaurierten Wallabachnitt mit Kanonen, eine Befestigungsanlage und vieles mehr. Gerade für Geschichtsinteressierte ist dieser Ort besonders spannend.

(Translated by Google) Nice to have seen it, unfortunately it was closed (Original) Schön mal gesehen zu haben leider zu gewesen

(Translated by Google) Too bad it's closed 😔 (Original) Schade hat geschlossen 😔

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately it is only rarely open. But since everything is based on volunteer work, I don't take it lightly. The outside area soon looked interesting, I'll come back another time and when it's open there will be more stars. (Original) Leider nur sehr selten geöffnet. Da alles aber auf Ehrenamt aufbaut, nehme ich das nicht krumm. Der Außenbereich sah schon bald interessant aus, ein andermal komme ich wieder und wenn es dann geöffnet ist, gibt's auch mehr Sterne.

(Translated by Google) Great explanations from the guide on site. Offered us shelter in the rain and told us a lot and also gave us good tips about the city! (Original) Super Erklärungen vom Guide vor Ort. Hat uns Unterschlupf beim Regen geboten und vieles erzählt und auch gute Tips zur Stadt gegeben!

(Translated by Google) Nice little bunker to take a look if you are in the area. Only open on certain days. You have to search on the internet. No entrance fee, but a voluntary contribution. (Original) Leuke kleine bunker om even te kijken als je in de buurt bent. Wel bepaalde dagen maar open. Moet je op internet zoeken. Geen intree, wel een vrijwillige bijdrage.

Magnificent view! If You find yourself someday on the west side of Netherlands, visit this beach. There are a lot of shops and museum nearby. Feel the breeze and watch the beautiful sea. Free parkings is also there.

Nice beach and hasn't been very full as we visited. The sunset looks amazing from here.

Really amazing sunsets!!

Best place

(Translated by Google) A nice, clean beach. You can go far into the sea before it gets deeper. Nevertheless, there are signs here warning of the current. During the high season, the washed-up algae are removed every morning. The sunsets here are beautiful. There is a small supermarket behind the dunes. On the beach there is a beach bar (you can also rent loungers and parasols there), toilets, showers and a sunscreen dispenser. There is also a lifeguard. The low tide reveals a small, rocky island on the beach. Here you can observe crabs and starfish. (Original) Ein schöner, sauberer Strand. Man kann weit ins Meer gehen, bevor es tiefer wird. Trotzdem stehen hier Schilder, die vor der Strömung warnen. Zur Hauptsaison werden jeden morgen mit die angespülten Algen entfernt. Die Sonnenuntergänge hier sind wunderschön. Hinter den Dünen gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt. Am Strand befindet sich eine Strandbar (dort kann man auch Liegen und Sonnenschirme mieten), Toiletten, Duschen und einen Sonnenmilchspender. Außerdem gibt es eine Badeaufsicht. Die Ebbe legt eine kleine, felsige Insel am Strand frei. Hier kann man dann Krebse und Seesterne beobachten.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach very close, there is also a supermarket and many options for dining. (Original) Schöner Strand ganz in der Nähe ist auch ein Supermarkt und viele Möglichkeiten zum Speisen.

Without seeming arrogant, but here one must clearly relativize the value of the attraction: I do not want to judge art, but the exceptionality of the place and the object of art must be clearly classified as conditionally worth seeing. Impressive are the large ships, which pass close to the lighthouse due to the fairway. But has nothing to do with the artwork.

Even though it’s windy, the sound is not as loud as i thought and you couldn’t really film it because of the wind noise. But the scenery from the place is beautiful

Unfortunately, this is a dilapidated site. Some of the pipes are broken and the remaining ones are askew.

I expected something special, but it is not. May be we did not have the best weather conditions, but you can hardly hear any effect/sound.

A good place where to reset your brain health...

Very serene.

Great place to have a morning walk and to see the sun rise!

Cool view, great vacation house and would recommend to groups and families!

(Translated by Google) You will experience a truly special (group) overnight stay in the water tower of Vlissingen. The water tower is located right on the beach, the boulevard is a stone's throw away and can be reached in just 2 minutes and the tower is within walking distance of the bustling center. The water tower is suitable for 4 to 16 people. There are no fewer than 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a sauna and a play cellar for the little ones. All parts of the tower are special. It is even possible to walk around in the original water barrel. In the tower roof you have a beautiful view of the sea and the island of Walcheren on all sides. The meeting room is in the tower room. This has a 360 degree view of the entire Vlissingen. (Original) Een echte bijzondere ( groeps ) overnachting beleef je in de watertoren van Vlissingen. De watertoren staat vlak aan het strand , de boulevard ligt op steenworp afstand en is in slechts 2 minuten te bereiken en de toren ligt op wandelafstand van het bruisende centrum . De watertoren is geschikt voor 4 tot 16 personen. Men heeft er maar liefst 7 slaapkamers , 3 badkamers , een sauna en voor de kleinsten een speelkelder. Alle delen van de toren zijn bijzonder . Zo is het zelfs mogelijk om in het originele watervat rond te lopen. In de torenkap heb je aan alle kanten een prachtig uitzicht over de zee en het eiland Walcheren. In de torenkamer is de vergaderruimte . Deze heeft een 360 graden uitzicht over gans Vlissingen.

(Translated by Google) A great and very special accommodation for larger groups. Went here with 7 people and we really enjoyed it. The property is furnished to a very high standard. Since there are a good 150 steps from the bottom to the top, you can't avoid a bit of fitness. The city center and the beach can be reached quickly on foot. The beautiful outdoor area with sun and shade areas completes everything. (Original) Eine tolle uns sehr spezielle Unterkunft für größere Gruppen. Waren mit 7 Personen hier und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Objekt ist sehr hochwertig eingerichtet. Da es vom Boden bis zur Spitze gut 150 Stufen sind, kommt man um etwas Fitness nicht herum. Die Innenstadt wie auch der Strand sind schnell fußläufig zu erreichen. Der schöne Außenbereich mit Sonnen und Schattenplätzen runden alles ab.

(Translated by Google) In the late 1980s the tower was for sale for 1 guilder!, but you had to invest at least 500k in order to convert it into a home. Now I see that this tower is being abused by local gits who pretend it is lagro in cold churches!. Folks, this tower is located in the Badhuisstraat in Vlissingen. Disgusting to make points like this with wrong information. And there is a bit of sentiment there, I almost lived there. Hope Google Maps will rectify this soon. The tower is 100 meters from Hotel Picart. At the bottom of the lion stairs in front of the local. (Original) Eind jaren 80 stond de toren te koop voor 1 gulden!;maar je moest dan wel min 500k er in stopen om het een woning temaken. Nu zie ik dat deze toren wordt misbruikt door locale gits die doet of het om lagro gaat in koudekerken!. Mensen deze toren staat in de badhuisstraat in Vlissingen. Walgelijk om zo punten te maken met verkeerde informatie. En daarbij zit een beetje sentiment, ik had daar bijna gewoond. Hoop dat Google Maps dit snel recht zet.de toren staat 100meter van Hotel picart. Onder aan de leeuwetrap voor de locale.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful monument that is not to be missed in the center of Vlissingen. Currently participates in several buildings in the city where they are colorfully subtly illuminated, which makes it very beautiful. The tower can also be rented as accommodation for larger groups. Very worthwhile considering the great building itself, but also the excellent geographical location! (Original) Prachtig monument welke niet te missen is in het centrum van Vlissingen. Participeert momenteel met meerdere gebouwen in de stad waarbij deze kleurig subtiel worden verlicht wat het erg mooi maakt. Tevens is de toren te huur als accommodatie voor grotere groepen. Erg de moeite waard gezien het geweldige gebouw an sich, maar ook de uitmuntende geografische locatie!

(Translated by Google) Nice holiday place. We were there with 12 adults, bedrooms and bathrooms were fine. Small kitchen and little storage space downstairs. (Original) Leuke vakantie plaats. We waren er met 12 volwassenen, slaapkamers en badkamers prima. Wel kleine keuken en weinig opbergruimte beneden.

(Translated by Google) Quite nice (Original) Ganz nett

Fun place for the kids. Seems expensive. However the kids get unlimited drinks, bag of fries, bag of snacks, bag of candy, slush puppy and popcorn. So all in all a good price. For the parents unlimited coffee and tea. Great to sit with laptop and free wi-fi

Nice place for children to play, lots of variation of the playground, you can eat unlimited fries and drinks also unlimited coffee and tea for parents

Fantastic Indoor Arena to keep the kids busy 🙂. Free coffee is an bonus!

Its a great place, but it does need some work put in (TLC).

Good place

Place looked awful and it was closing for the day due to lack of staf

My daughter enjoy very much.

Good experience, nice staff giving just that little extra

One of the best experiences I have ever made. Please visit this place!:)

Pretty cool experience!

Interesting. Guides with knowledge.

(Translated by Google) This is my third time here and I really like it. I like this place and feel very comfortable. The location of the apartment near Mareijke is particularly good - you just need a few steps and you are at the sea 😁. So if you need good air and relaxation, just go to Vlissingen........ (Original) Ich bin jetzt zum dritten Mal hier und es gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich mag diesen Ort und fühle mich sehr wohl. Besonders gut ist die Lage des Appartements bei Mareijke man braucht nur ein paar Schritte und schon ist man am Meer 😁. Also wer gute Luft und Erholung braucht fährt einfach mal nach Vlissingen........

(Translated by Google) Frans Naerebout was of humble origins. He started his working life in the industry his father worked in: fishing, but over the years he worked his way up to become a pilot. It was July 27, 1779. The heavily loaded East Indiaman Woestduin was almost back in his home port of Middelburg after a trip from Batavia. Then they got stuck on a sandbank in the Western Scheldt. There was a heavy storm and the ship was constantly swamped by high waves. That evening it was a fair in Vlissingen, but such a spectacle was not often seen and the population came out to look at the ship in distress. The crew seemed hopelessly lost. Yet Frans Naerebout, together with his brother Jacob and 7 others, took the plunge. After a few failed attempts, they managed to rescue 71 of the 129 crew members with their small ship. The next morning he saved 16 more, bringing the total to 87. The rescue was immediate national news and the brothers were showered with rewards and honors. Life went on and Frans continued to work as a pilot. But the economy and the merchant navy gradually came to a standstill and Naerebout eventually had to look for new work around the age of sixty (his brother Jacob had already died and married Frans). He subsequently became a shrimp fisherman, harbor and lock keeper and lighthouse keeper in Goes. It was not a luxurious life and Frans lived alone on the sea side in a house made of sails and planks. It took years before he got a wooden house with a chimney and a tiled roof. Then his wife was finally able to move back in with him. Towards the end of his life in 1816, Naerebout, who was after all one of the greatest naval heroes Zeeland has ever known, was reinstated. He was given money for services rendered and in 1817 he was appointed Brother in the Order of the Netherlands Lion. This included an annual fixed benefit. However, Frans Naerebout died a year later in 1818 at the age of 70. (Original) Frans Naerebout was van eenvoudige komaf. Hij begon zijn werkende leven in de branche waar zijn vader werkzaam in was : de visserij , maar in de loop der jaren werkte hij zich op tot loods. Het was 27 juli 1779 . De zwaar beladen Oost-Indiëvaarder Woestduin was bijna terug in zijn thuishaven Middelburg na een tocht vanuit Batavia. Toen liepen ze vast op een zandbank in de Westerschelde . Het stormde hevig en het schip werd constant door hoge golven overspoeld . Het was die avond kermis in Vlissingen , maar zo'n schouwspel zag je niet vaak en de bevolking liep uit om naar het schip in nood te kijken. De bemanning leek reddeloos verloren. Toch waagde Frans Naerebout , samen met zijn broer Jacob en nog 7 anderen , het erop. Na een paar mislukte pogingen wisten ze met hun kleine schip 71 van de 129 bemanningsleden te redden . De volgende ochtend redde hij er nog 16 en zo kwam het totaal op 87 te staan. De redding was direct landelijk nieuws en de broers werden overladen met beloningen en eerbewijzen. Het leven ging verder en Frans bleef werkzaam als loods. Maar de economie en de koopvaardij kwam stilaan tot stilstand en Naerebout moest uiteindelijk rond zijn zestigste nog op zoek naar nieuw werk ( zijn broer Jacob was toen reeds overleden en Frans gehuwd ) . Hij werd vervolgens garnaalvisser , haven-en sluiswachter en vuurtorenwachter in Goes. Het was geen luxeleven en Frans woonde alleen aan de zeekant in een optrekje van zeilen en planken. Het duurde jaren voor hij een houten huisje met schoorsteen en pannendak kreeg . Toen kon eindelijk zijn vrouw weer bij hem intrekken . Tegen het eind van zijn leven in 1816 werd Naerebout , die ten slot van rekening één van de grootste zeehelden was die Zeeland ooit gekend heeft , in ere hersteld. Er wordt hem geld gegeven voor bewezen diensten en in 1817 werd hij benoemd tot Broeder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw. Daar zat een jaarlijkse vaste uitkering aan vast. Frans Naerebout overleed echter een jaar later in 1818 op 70-jarige leeftijd.

(Translated by Google) After moving his statue for a long time, he has now been given the place where Frans comes into his own, the boulevard, (Original) Na lang verplaatsen van zijn standbeeld heeft hij nu de plaats gekregen waar Frans tot zijn recht komt, de boulevard,

(Translated by Google) Frans was born in Veere in a modest family of fishermen. Together with his brothers, they fished off the coast of Zeeland, then in 1781 he was employed by the state for pilotage services, and in 1783 he was appointed harbor pilot in the Zeeland region...and in 1779 on July 23 he contributed to saving many lives in following the shipwreck of the "de Woestduyn" frigate. (Original) Frans s-a nascut la Veere intr-o familie modesta de pescari. Impreuna cu fratii lui pescuiau in largul coastelor Zeelandei, apoi in 1781 a fost angajat de stat pentru servicii de pilotaj, iar in 1783 a fost numit pilot de port in regiunea Zeeland..iar in 1779 pe 23 iulie a contribuit la salvarea multor vieti in urma naufragiului fregatei "de Woestduyn".

(Translated by Google) Perhaps the most famous pilot who enjoys an eternal view over the beautiful Western Scheldt while he continues to keep an eye on shipping. (Original) Wellicht de meest bekende loods welke geniet van een eeuwig uitzicht over de prachtige Westerschelde terwijl hij de scheepvaart in de gaten blijft houden.

(Translated by Google) This place is located on the Boulevaar of Vlissingen, with good weather, a wonderful place to stay, lots to see and enjoy. (Original) Deze plaats ligt op de Boulevaar van Vlissingen met goed weer héérlijk vertoeven veel te zien en voor al genieten.

(Translated by Google) Agatha (Aagje) Deken (1741-1804) started living together at the age of 29 with her then girlfriend, who died after 3 years. She then started an exchange of letters with Elisabeth (Betje) Wolff (1738 - 1804). Aagje was upset about Betje's fierce mockery of the regents and the church at that time and wrote her a critical letter. A busy correspondence ensued, which showed that Wolff and Deken were not so different in terms of mentality. In 1777, Betje's husband (a dean), with whom she had a marriage of convenience, died and Aagje and Betje started living together. In 1782 they jointly published the epistolary novel 'History of Miss Sara Burgerhart''. This book is considered the first modern Dutch novel. Until 1960, the book Sara Burgerhart was still required reading at secondary schools in the Netherlands. Their book ''The history of den Heer Willem Leevend'' was also a hit. In 1804 they died 9 days apart. Betje went first. In Vlissingen, the birthplace of Elisabeth Wolff, there has been a large monument in the form of a fountain since 1884, for this writing duo with their image on it. Both ladies had a close friendship at a time when the word lesbian had not yet been invented. They are buried together at the cemetery ''Ter Navolging'' in Scheveningen. A memorial stone for Wolff and Deken was also erected here in 1895. (Original) Agatha ( Aagje ) Deken ( 1741-1804 ) ging op 29 jarige leeftijd samenwonen met haar toenmalige vriendin , die na 3 jaar overleed. Daarna begon ze een briefwisseling met Elisabeth ( Betje ) Wolff ( 1738 - 1804 ) . Aagje was ontstemt over de felle spot van Betje op de regenten en de kerk in die tijd en schreef haar een kritische brief. Er ontstond een drukke corespondentie , waaruit bleek dat Wolff en Deken qua mentaliteit helemaal niet zoveel van elkaar verschilden. In 1777 overleed de echtgenoot van Betje ( een deken ) , met wie ze een verstandshuwelijk had en gingen Aagje en Betje samenwonen . In 1782 publiceren ze gezamelijk de briefroman '' historie van mejuffrouw Sara Burgerhart ''. Dit boek wordt beschouwd als de eerste moderne Nederlandse roman. Tot 1960 was het boek Sara Burgerhart nog verplichte lectuur op de middelbare school in Nederland . Ook hun boek '' De historie van den Heer Willem Leevend '' was een schot in de roos . In 1804 overlijden ze 9 dagen na elkaar. Betje ging als eerste . In Vlissingen , de geboorteplaats van Elisabeth Wolff , staat reeds sinds 1884 een groot monument in de vorm van een fontein , voor dit schrijvers duo met hun beeltenis erop. Beide dames hadden een innige vriendschap in een tijd dat het woord lesbisch nog niet was uitgevonden. Ze liggen samen begraven op de begraafplaats '' Ter Navolging '' in Scheveningen. In 1895 werd ook hier een gedenksteen voor Wolff en Deken opgericht .
