Maritime Flushing
This route runs from the center of Vlissingen to the boulevard along the Western Scheldt. The boulevard is one of the main attraction of this city. You will find many cozy terraces here to relax on. Enjoying a drink and enjoying the view at the same time, isn't that wonderful? On the boulevard you will also find the Gevangentoren that used to be part of the old city gates of Vlissingen. You will also find references to Michiel de Ruyter everywhere in the city. This naval hero was born in Vlissingen and he lived there for a long time. There is a statue of Michiel on the emperor's stronghold and part of the boulevard, the marina and a square in Vlissingen are named after him.

The history of Flushing
Due to its strategic location, Vlissingen has been in the hands of different countries over the centuries. In the 1920s, an airport was built in Vlissingen to stimulate tourism and the ports were enlarged. Furthermore, Vlissingen was promoted as a seaside resort and a bathing beach and a walking pier were constructed for this purpose. During the Second World War, the pier had to be demolished again.
