Ring Riding in Zeeland: an Age-Old Tradition
Amsterdamian | Amsterdam's Daily Colours

When I visited Domburg, in the province of Zeeland, I had the chance to witness an age-old Zeeland traditional sport: ring riding. The main square was bustling with people and had been transformed into a tournament field. A sandy path had been laid out for the competition, and there were many horses around. Some of them were regular horses, but most were Zeeland draught horses: huge, impressive animals, so beautiful with their grand proportions and long manes. We were captivated by their presence, and after gently stroking the soft fur of a few, we found a good spot to watch the games. Ring ..read more

Zeeland Travel Guide: Experience the History and Beauty of Middelburg

What better place to start our discovery of the Zeeland province than Middelburg, the province’s capital? This old city with around 48.000 inhabitants is one of the most popular destinations in Zeeland. For our Zeeland trip, we chose Middelburg as a base from where we could travel around the area. Zeeland is a province in the south-west of the Netherlands, close to the border with Belgium. When you think about Zeeland, you think about the sea, wide beaches, fishermen and a long, sad history of flooding and battles with the sea. Zeeland is a popular destination for beach holidays (for locals a ..read more

The Cat Cabinet

In the heart of Amsterdam, on Herengracht 497 in a lovely old house, an unusual art museum can be found — one that is entirely dedicated to the role of cats in art and culture throughout history: De KattenKabinet (“The Cat Cabinet”). Actually, the word “museum” may not be appropriate; this is more of a private art collection open to the public. The museum is housed on the first floor of the building, in a nice apartment that could be a museum by itself, decorated in classical seventeenth-century style with antique furnishings. Even from the entrance, where a ring of the bell brings a nice lady ..read more

This article is part of the project: Discover the Netherlands, Province by Province. Population of 391.142 as of end of 2022 and a total area of 2,934 square kilometres. Zeeland, translating as “Sea land”, is located in the southwest of the Netherlands, encompassing a collection of islands, peninsulas, and an inland strip that borders Belgium. The provincial capital is Middelburg. This is the least populous province of the Netherlands, but it doubles its population in some areas in the summer, when the beach-loving tourists flock to the islands. The entire Dutch coast has a great connection t ..read more

Scheveningen: A Charming Seaside Resort with a Rich History
Amsterdamian | Amsterdam's Daily Colours
by Dana Marin
8M ago
Nestled among sandy dunes right outside the Hague, in the South Holland province, Scheveningen is one of the most famous seaside resorts in the Netherlands. This former fishing village turned modern resort has it all: wide sandy beaches, luxury hotels, water sports, good food, legends, and more. Scheveningen was the second beach I’ve visited in the Netherlands, after Zandvoort, and it was love at first sight. My first visit to Scheveningen wasn’t a beach trip: it was a bit of respite from the busy city, after sorting out some papers in the Hague, at the embassy. I was amazed that only a tram ..read more
