Zierikzee
This modest Zeeland town in the southwest Netherlands holds an unusually dense concentration of listed historic buildings and churches for its size, with a waterfront position on a canal connecting to the Oosterschelde. A real café and restaurant scene fills the centre, and the compact, walkable streets make it a strong destination for photography. Zierikzee also serves as the municipal seat of Schouwen-Duiveland, with UNESCO World Heritage sites accessible in the wider region.
