Goes

Travel Guide

This small village in the southwest of the Netherlands is the perfect place to relax. Visit it for its beautiful nature, water and picturesque houses.

Looking for a destination for a relaxing few days during your holiday in the Netherlands? Why not stay in Goes? This cute little town of just 30,000 inhabitants is located in the province of Zeeland, not far from Middelburg.

If you look at Goes from the air or on maps you'll see that it was once a fortified town. The first fortifications were built around the city in the 15th century. Trade has kept growing over the years, also thanks to the train station that was built in 1868. Goes is also full of monuments, all of which are best discovered during a thematic guided tour of the city!

One of Goes's biggest attractions is its proximity to nature. Cycle along the coast, explore the countryside and experience the tranquillity of Zeeland. Take in the local scenery or relax at Nollestrand near Vlissingen.

There's also a lot to see in town, such as the Grote Markt (market square) where a lot of trading went on, or the Historisch Museum De Bevelanden, which is located in an old monastery. Goes also has a large variety of shops.

If you’re travelling with the kids, take them to Omnium for the day, a complex with a tropical forest and a swimming paradise. Middelburg is a great place to visit with your partner. Climb the abbey tower de Lange Jan for a fantastic view of the city and enjoy a fun night out.

Goes has a small city centre, making it easy to explore on foot. If you want to explore the area, hire a bicycle so you can take in your surroundings and enjoy the weather. You can also explore the area by bus or car.

Goes has a train station, making it easy to reach by public transport, but the quickest way of getting there is by car.

Discover the shops, the picturesque buildings on the water and the nature around Goes. The city is the perfect destination for a weekend or a longer stay. Come see for yourself!

"The cabin we stayed in was lovely and we enjoyed watching the Alpacas very much. The location is great as it is a five minute drive from nice beaches and restaurants etc. However, the cleaning fee is absurd and costs as much as a nights accommodation. This is even more of a joke after you’re expected ..."
