Popular Sights Around Goes

Goes is one of the most important shopping cities in the province of Zeeland. In the city centre you will find a great selection of stores, ranging from big chains and brands, but also locally owned boutiques. On Tuesdays and Saturdays there is a farmers market selling fresh local produce.

The harbour in the city centre, named Stadshaven, might just be the most picturesque part of Goes, with its old houses, narrow streets and alleys, the water and boats. Enjoy the view from a balcony in the summer or inside a café when it’s colder. The historic Sint Maarten Bridge is just the icing on the cake.

There is a lot to see in the city. The stunning 15th century church, for example. It has two names: Grote Kerk or Maria Magdalenakerk. Then there’s the city hall. Built in several stages, the oldest part used to be a meat market. The old streets and squares in the city centre are also great to explore. On the north side of the city centre you can find an old mill, while around the city centre you’ll find parts of the old fortress walls.

There is so much more to do and see in Goes. Take a ride on the steam train - the rails it rides on were constructed in 1927. During the ride, be sure to check out the awesome views. Also visit Historisch Museum De Bevelanden, a museum that focuses on the history of the area. The museum is situated in a former convent, which was once used as an orphanage. The permanent exhibitions cover local floods, historic clothing, and the city, amongst other things. The area is also great for hiking Goes has an extensive network of walkways that will lead you through its beautiful green surroundings.

Room was very clean, bed was so comfortable and the location is perfect! Staff weren’t the most welcoming as they didn’t appreciate that we booked through Expedia. Still highly recommend.

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 ...
