Vlissingen's boulevard is perhaps the city's most famous spot, and rightly so. Especially at the imposing statue of naval hero Michiel de Ruyter, the view is spectacular. From here you look out over the Westerschelde. Gigantic container ships, naval vessels and sailboats sail so close you can almost wave to the crew.

The statue of De Ruyter himself adds another dimension: this historic admiral defended the Dutch fleet in the 17th century. So it's not just a place to look at ships, but also to take a moment to reflect on Vlissingen's rich maritime history.

On the east side of the boulevard, near the Oranjedijk, stands the picturesque Orange Mill. This mill is a popular photo point. From here you have a wonderful panorama: the Western Scheldt in front of you, the promenade stretching along the coast and the historic downtown behind you.

At sunset, this viewpoint turns into a magical backdrop. The sky turns red and orange, the ships slowly glide by and the mill itself takes on an almost fairy-tale appearance. For photographers and romantics, this may just be the place to be in Flushing.

At the Dokbrug, port history and panorama come together. From this bridge you look out over the Dokhaven, the old shipyards and the maritime history on the Scheldt Quarter. The contrast between water, industry, historic buildings and new development makes this a surprisingly photogenic vantage point.

You can also see from here the movement of small ships and yachts entering and leaving the harbor. A place that is perfect for those who love maritime atmosphere, city views and lively views all in one view.

Those who prefer the tranquility of nature should definitely head toward the dunes at the Nollebos walking. From the dune tops you have a wonderful view: on one side the wide sandy beaches and the glistening sea, on the other the green forest stretching towards the city.

This viewpoint is perfect for getting a breath of fresh air or unwinding. The sound of the waves, the salty sea air and the vast horizon create a sense of freedom. Especially in the early morning or towards evening, when the light is soft and nature becomes quiet, you will experience the serene side of Flushing here.

At the very western tip of the promenade, near the Nolledijk, is a special work of art: the Wind Organ. This musical structure makes sounds by the wind blowing through the pipes, creating an almost meditative atmosphere.

But at least as special is the view. Here you can see the huge seagoing ships passing by so close that it seems like you can almost touch them. At the same time, you have a view of the Vlissingen skyline and the wide horizon of the North Sea. The Wind Organ is thus a place where art, nature and shipping come together.
