TRAVEL | Veere...a nice little city in the south of the Netherlands

With the sunny wheater we went to Zeeland in the south west from The Netherlands. Zeeland got lots of islands and Veere is a city on one of the islands namely Walcheren. A very beautiful and old historical city where you will discover that you return into the past. My feeling of having a holiday stays in my body because there where many tourist who visiting Veere. Read with me and see the pictures as I've seen them through my camera.

The name Veere means "ferry": Wolfert Van Borsselen established a ferry there in 1281.[5] Veere received city rights in 1355.


Where is Veere?



Veere is a historic village on the Veerse lake on the former island of Walcheren in Zeeland. Veere is one of the places in New Zealand which have a conservation area.
Veere was founded sometime in the 12th or 13th century and experienced a high economic growth in the 16th century. This was primarily because Veere had stack on Scottish wool and therefore  had here the monopoly. In this period the city hall of Veere Built known for its carillon. The Scottish houses on the quay date from this period and are now a museum. In the basement of the premises known as "The Lammeken" and "The Struijs" in a restaurant located.

Beautiful old buildings



I imagined myself in a totally different world when I walked through Veere. Picturesque little houses and a center that feels very cozy and foreign. walk on the quay and think that you walk around in Scotland.

















Back in time to Grandmothers time


A candy shop, an antique shop, a small old bookstore that sells cigarettes, a bakery, etc. In Veere they have no supermarket so if they want to buy food and drinks they have to go to a supermarket in another village.






























Lots of things to see | Sights



Veere had in the past a very important function because of the wool but the main core is still the harbor. With the beautiful weather you saw lots of ships going in and going out of the harbor. Very nice to see.




This photo impression shows that Veere is worth for a visit. Cozy town, a nice cozy harbor and lots of tourists in the summer months even in September.

Have you ever been to Veere or do you live in Veere? Do you agree with me that Veere is beautiful? Leave a comment below this blog post.
