Through a landscape full of waterways you arrive in Vlissingen, situated on the Western Scheldt. The city is one of the seventeen protected cityscapes in Zeeland and has 300 monuments. Cycle along the boulevard and look out over the beaches. Also take a look at the Vlissingen wind organ on the southern pier. This organ consists of bamboo pipes. When the wind blows hard enough, the wind sounds through the organ as if a choir is singing. Vlissingen is a city with a rich maritime past.
