Bizarium

Bizarium is a museum full of weird inventions. A museum of brilliant inventors and their boundless imagination, their technical ingenuity and above all immense passion. Bizarium inspires and surprises with genius, scientific and wacky inventions. Think of a flying bicycle, a walking submarine, a hair helmet, a swimming umbrella, as well as bizarre idees from geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci, Athanasius Kircher and Nikola Tesla.

Of all the rare museums I have visited, this is indisputably the best. Full of the most incredible and weirdest contraptions, passing through the attempts to reach perpetual motion, as well as the simplest inventions for solving unfeasible feats. This is a MUST VISIT if...MoreHello, Thanks for this great review and recommendation! We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our tour in the museum. Looking forward to see you back. Ann & Marc

Strand Domburg

Reviewed By Rrrobin - Eindhoven, The Netherlands

We have been here a couple of times already, but never when the weather was this good. There is a major difference in beach size on high or low tide, so its excellent for builing sand Castles. In summertime there are a lot of beach guards, who keep an eye out for you..
Even in high season, you can still find a spot on the beach, its big enough for everyone.
We always park on a big parking space near albert heijn, a dutch supermarket, they charge 8,50 euro for a full day.

Watersnoodmuseum

Reviewed By Jolene H - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was a very interesting and realistically informative museum about the tragic flooding which suddenly occurred both here and in England. Everything was gone so quickly but from this tragic event came a ingenious invention called The Delta Works so that this would not happen again. The layout of the museum has a great flow and their gift shop is not to be missed. A must visit when in Zeeland.

Reviewed By LuluK1 - United Kingdom

This beach was such a surprise. Miles and miles of perfect, clean, sandy beach. behind the sand dunes with a backdrop of beach huts.
Scattering of snack huts, serving freshly cooked hot chips for a perfect lunch on the beach.
Deckschairs, windbreaks and sunbeds for hire at regular intervals.

Plompetoren

Reviewed By hendrik_vankets - Ghent, Belgium

The Plompe toren is a relic of the lost village of Koudekerke. The red brick building is not of particular beauty but is accessible (given a good physical condition) as a lookout over the Island of Schouwen Duiveland to the North and the Oosterschelde waters to the South.

Town Hall

Reviewed By Kevin F - Lincoln, United Kingdom

This is a lovely old building that was described by our guide as one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. I can agree with that as it is well worth a 'Look See'

Deltawerken Oosterschelde

Reviewed By aztrimom - Peoria, Arizona

I had no idea the magnitude of this place. It is an engineering marvel and seeing it up close and personal was beyond anything I could possibly imagine. The time, energy and thought that went into this to save land and people was astounding.

Boulevard van Vlissingen

Reviewed By AndersUA - Odessa, Ukraine

Very unpleasant boulevard with modern and ugly buildings, no cafes or anything to see, no trees. The river is pretty wide so no good views of ships either

Nature Reserve de Manteling

Reviewed By mazdauk - Greater London, United Kingdom

There is a dune-top path leading all along this beautiful, unspoilt coast. You can bike or walk it, and if you get tired you can easily turn away from the sea and find yourself close to one of the small towns. Just past Domburg (if heading North) the turn-off leads past a castle (which used to be the Abbbot of Middelburgh's summer retreat), where there is also a restaurant/coffee bar (with a nice clean toilet). I walked along here with my husband and on my own at different times and it always seemed peaceful, not too many other people using it but just enough so you don't feel lost!

Maritime muZEEum

Come and get to know the unknown site of the province of Zeeland and the soul of its people in the new and magnificent maritime muZEEum in Vlissingen, Holland. The museum is housed in several buildings, dating back to the 16th and 21th century. Modern architecture has blended these buildings in a very special way. From the roof balcony with its unique 17th century watchtower you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the 'Westerschelde'. At the muZEEum you find: - The Lampsins'beautifull 17th century town house - Michiel de Ruyter's adventures - Underwater treasure from sunk East Indiamen - Fascinating maritime games - Stories about Zeeland's illustrious past - Vlissingen's turbulent history - Zeeland's maritime life, then and now.

Reviewed By Letvs - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We weren't planning on visiting this museum, but we went through the Reptile Museum down the street quite quickly and decided to go into this one as well (always handy with the national Museumkaart). The staff, clearly volunteers, were so incredibly friendly and hospitable, sharing historical information as we walked through the beautiful facilities. There are plenty of maritime museums in the Netherlands, but not one can boast being located in the city that saw the birth of Michiel de Ruyter! This one can, and that makes it extra special.
