Sluis

About Sluis

Sluis is a charming small historic city in Zeelandic Flanders, in the far southwest of Zeeland. Although it was largely destroyed by Allied bombs at the end of WWII, the city ramparts, belfry and windmill right in the centre of town give this nicely rebuilt place a historic touch. It's just a few kilometres from the North Sea coast and sits right on the Dutch-Belgian border, making it a popular day-trip destination for Belgian and Dutch visitors alike. The seaside of Sluis municipality (between Cadzand-Bad and Breskens) is very popular with German tourists, just like the rest of the Zeeland seaside. Some of those also make their way into Sluis city.
