- Middelburg - Relaxing university town and capital of Zeeland. The historic center is well preserved.

- Valkenburg aan de Geul
- Vlissingen - Once the most important port for international trade in the Netherlands although it still has an important naval function. Vlissingen (sometimes called in English Flushing) is also the birthplace of Michiel de Ruyter, the most famous admiral in Dutch history.
