Middelburg is the capital of Zeeland, once one of the most important provinces of the Netherlands, which gave its name to New Zealand and was home to Admiral De Ruyter who sailed its fleet up the river Thames. Now the province is one of the calmer areas of the Netherlands, with great beaches and watersport facilities and cozy little towns with cobbly streets.

In Middelburg you will find a good base to explore the nearby treasures. The town itself has very nice historical canals with old houses on them.

Middelburg is a bit hard to reach from the rest of the Netherlands, the best way to do it is probably by train from Rotterdam (just over one hour, sometimes you need to change trains in Rosendaal). It is possible to go straight from Brugge in Belgium, by bus and boat and this is a very nice trip.
