Its beautiful, great view, a lot of restaurants and terrace and also some great hotel. Love the sea, the beach and Big Ships ? then Vlissingen is the place to be !

Panorama Walcheren

Reviewed By BarbaraHRockwell - Glastonbury, United States

We spent the afternoon at Panorama Walcheren. There are loads of reasons to visit and it is truly a worthwhile stop. Jo Dumon Tak is a wonderful artist. We had the privilege of a personal tour--we saw a number of panoramas, plus other paintings by Dumon Tak and also some by his students. The displays are well organized and each panorama is experienced individually. His use of color and light is amazing! He has a special ability to paint sky and water. Before this, I had no real appreciation of the panorama concept, as it relates to big art projects; now I will look for others wherever we go. A well done panorama allows you inside its subject. One piece dramatically places the viewer inside a brilliantly green forest. Another shows water on the beach that is so realistic, you would expect to get wet if you walked close. The building he works in is equally fascinating, as is the history of Walcheren Island; which was completely flooded during the Allied liberation of south Holland. Don't overthink it; just go there! We saw it off season, the exhibit reopens to the public in April, 2020.

Stadswandeling - Experience Vlissingen

Experience Vlissingen during a walk with a guide through the old city. Where did Michiel de Ruyter live? Who visited Vlissingen in 1809 or how high was the water during the Storm Flood of February 1, 1953? A large part of the old center was destroyed twice by bombing. See how a beautiful city is created from a mix of old merchant houses and modern architecture.

Badstrand

Reviewed By 177bask - Amstelveen, The Netherlands

Vlissingen municipality offers its visitors 6 beaches;Badstrand in front of Boulevard Evertsen is the most urban.Build up and busy Badstrand Vlissingen is situated in front of the high-rise apartment towers that face the busy marine traffic on the waterway of Westerschelde.The large ships can be seen passing in front of the beach. To the west the beaches become less build up and on warm sunny days there are less visitors as well.These beaches strech all the way to Westkapelle have names like Nollestrand,Duinstrand,West Duin. I enjoyed seeing the sunset and on less crowed days several species of marine birds can be seen on Vlissingen's beaches.Bird Species I saw on the Badstrand include Kentish Plover-(Strandplevier);Turnstone(-Steenloper),Oystercatcher-(Scholekster).
