Highlights of Zierikzee

If you visit Zierikzee, you should go and see the tower Sint-Lievensmonstertoren. Feel free to climb the so-called “fat tower of Zierikzee” and enjoy the view. Other highlights are the Maritime Museum, the 16th century city hall and the Nobel gate. Relax with a drink, while overlooking the old harbor with its historical ships.

Editor's pick

This small municipality is beautiful any time of the year. Your day out in Zierikzee isn’t complete if you haven’t tried a specialty from Zeeland, such as a Zeeuwse bolus (sweet pastry) or Schouws palingbroodje (eel roll). Zierikzee is also an excellent place to enjoy Zeeland's delicious Oosterschelde lobster. We recommend Brasserie Maritime.
