Vlissingen, a city in the southwestern Netherlands on the former island of Walcheren.
Vlissingen is mainly noted for the yards on the Scheldt where most of the ships of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
Oostende is a seaport and tourism destination on the Belgian coast. The original belle époque architecture was largely destroyed by two world wars (and the advent of mass tourism), but the city still has plenty of worthwhile sights to see, such as the Mu.ZEE, the Petrus and Paulus church, and the fort Napolean. Visit one of the museums, check out the lively cultural agenda, and check out a Belgian tavern for a ‘pinteke’. And don’t forget the beach, which can be crowded in the summer!
