When you walk into the centuries-old Middelburg, the abbey tower, the Lange Jan, will stand out. This tower shows off everywhere and it is a true experience to climb it. Middelburg is one of the trading cities of the VOC. The city's prosperous past can still be felt when you walk through the city centre. Visit the Zeeuws Museum or walk past the 15th century Stadhuis, the Hofje underneath the Tower and the 17th century Kuiperspoort. Or go on a cruise and see the glorious past from a different angle. Save your favorite spots on your city guide and explore.
