Vlissingen

Vlissingen is best known in the Netherlands for its boulevard on the Westerschelde estuary, where large seagoing ships pass remarkably close to shore. On Walcheren’s southern coast, the city faces a major shipping route between the North Sea and Antwerp, with Ghent connected through the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal. Maritime history remains central here: the 17th-century naval commander Michiel de Ruyter was born in Vlissingen, and his statue stands on the boulevard. Compact streets in the historic centre contrast with the open waterfront and its working-port atmosphere.
