Vlissingen, a city with a rich history and diverse cultural heritage. From the Bombardment of Flushing in August 1809 to the Opening of the Docks at Flushing, this place has witnessed significant events that shaped its identity.

Even royalty has graced Vlissingen's streets, as depicted in the engraving of King Edward VII's Visit to Germany. However, not all doors have been open throughout history; some remain closed with no access granted. The arrival of Frederick V of the Palatinate on May 5th, 1613 marked an important moment for Vlissingen. This event brought prestige and influence to the city. The Dutch Schuyts off Flushing painting by Francois Louis Thomas Francia transports us back to the 19th century when maritime trade flourished in these waters. It showcases the bustling activity and vibrant atmosphere that once filled Vlissingen's harbor. Flushing Jack and Vlissinge Jack are two historical figures associated with this city, leaving their mark on its folklore and traditions in 1838. A breathtaking view awaits visitors who explore Vlissingen today - picturesque landscapes merge seamlessly with modern architecture. The View captures Walcheren Island's beauty within Zeeland province in the Netherlands, and is impossible to ignore darker times like November 1944 when assault troops advanced through the streets during World War II. British Landings on Walcheren left an indelible mark on both history and memory. Vlissingen stands as a testament to resilience and strength - a place where stories unfold amidst cobblestone streets lined with historic buildings.
