• The MuZEEum: Dive into Zeeland's maritime past and learn all about Michiel de Ruyter and the city's eventful history.
• The Arsenaal & Reptile Zoo Iguana: Perfect for a day out with the children. Admire reptiles, amphibians, and insects from all over the world right in the middle of the city.

With these practical tips, you can make the most of your stay in your holiday home in Vlissingen:

• Rent a bicycle: Zeeland is the ultimate cycling province. Cycle straight into the dunes from Vlissingen towards Dishoek and Zoutelande, or take the bicycle ferry to Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.
• Parking in Vlissingen: Paid parking applies around the city centre and the boulevard. Many of our holiday homes have their own parking space. If that is not the case, use the cheaper car parks on the outskirts of the city, such as Parking Koningsweg.
• Visit the weekly market: Every Friday, there is a lively weekly market in the city centre. The perfect place to taste local Zeeland delicacies, such as the Zeeuwse bolus (cinnamon pastry) or fresh fish.
• The unique 'Zonnetreintje' (Solar Train): Don't feel like walking? During the high season, an electric train runs along the boulevard to comfortably take you from the harbour to the beach.
