The city owes its charm, its structure, its character and its attractiveness to its seaside location. Vlissingen is all in all a lively seaside and tourist resort, with an unmatched esplanade and lovely beaches. Maritime atmosphere Vlissingen’s maritime atmosphere is set by shipping traffic, the pilot service on the quay immediately in front of the esplanade, the activities in the ports, the presence of shipyards and the yachts in what used to be the medieval fishermen’s harbour. But also to Arsenaal with its attractions, the sheltered shopping mall and the constant interplay of wind, water and clouds …. All flavour Vlissingen with the tang of salt.
