About Visit Vlissingen
About Visit Vlissingen
Vlissingen is a city with character. Unpolished and honest, with the sea at its feet and a world of possibilities in sight. The city is raw and real, a place where people say what they think and do what they promise. In the vibrant mix of cultures, festivals and arts, a colorful and quirky dynamic flourishes. Its maritime location, great urban development, international perspective and cultural base make Vlissingen a city on the move. The Visitvlissingen.nl platform makes that dynamism visible and tangible, for everyone who wants to discover, experience or enhance the city.
The platform is the central execution channel of Citymarketing Vlissingen and makes visible what the city has to offer, for residents, visitors, students, businesses and investors. By bringing the offerings together in one place, the barriers between sectors and initiatives disappear. This brings everyone into contact with the full breadth of the city, strengthening Vlissingen's proposition as an attractive place to live, work, study and relax.
People make the city

Current and local cultural offerings
Current and local cultural offerings
One of the core components of the website is the events calendar, which features the current cultural offerings from, among others, De Piek Music Venue, Saint James' Church, the MuZEEum, Pathé Flushing and the ZB Vlissingen is automatically loaded. In doing so, we are smartly building upon the regional development of the Zeeland Event Agenda, which is being realized under the direction of the Zeeland Culture Organization (ZCO). Thanks to this link, existing cultural offerings are optimally utilized, and we can efficiently and currently present local programming to a broad audience.
We actively approach cultural parties who are not (yet) affiliated with the ZCO and encourage them to share their programming with us. In this way we make Vlissingen's total cultural offering as visible and accessible as possible.
In addition to cultural programming, we also provide extensive space for events. Large and small-scale activities are given a place through our own event pages, and where relevant we support the visibility of events, locally, regionally and nationally through targeted audience campaigns. In this way we encourage participation, attendance and engagement, and contribute to the vibrant character of the city.
Discover, do and experience
Visitors to the site will find practical and inspiring tips on culture, nature, food & drink, shopping, accommodation and entertainment under the Seeing & Doing section. There are also pages about specific areas and hotspots in the city, such as the boulevard, downtown and the Kenniswerf.
Made with the city
The development of Visitvlissingen.nl takes place in close cooperation with local partners, including the VLOC (Vlissingen Business Centre), KHN Vlissingen, the city's cultural institutions, and the partners of the Knowledge Wharf (education and businesses). This joint approach ensures that the platform truly reflects the city.
Strategic positioning
Visitvlissingen.nl fleshes out the strategic direction of city marketing:
- Vlissingen Hotspot for delta innovation, with the Knowledge Wharf as a driver of knowledge and innovation;
- Flushing event city, as a seaside cultural destination with its own atmosphere and signature.
By connecting, showcasing and enhancing, Visitvlissingen.nl contributes to a positive and recognizable image of Vlissingen, a city where opportunities converge.
