.Sluis is my town, in West-Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, known for its bustling shopping streets and fine dining. My tips for a day out.Wall-to-wall SluisA good starter for orientation is a walk along the ‘wallen’, the old city walls. More than six hundred years ago, they were our defences: now we’re more open and, together with the canals and some meadows, they form a lovely nature area. You may find me enjoying the peace and quiet and the view – and taking some pictures.Along the Damse Vaart waterwayThe old canal towards Damme in Belgium offers nice walks and bike rides. Choose for example for a route along the canal. Are the kids with you today? Let them pedal you through Sluis on a water bike.Nation’s only belfryOur sole bell tower goes back a long way: the medieval Flemish edifice was used to announce key happenings. Now it explains our rich history, as a museum. The collection includes the life and times (and they were times indeed) of Johan Hendrik van Dale, a teacher, an archivist and a lexicographer. His name adorns the iconic series of dictionaries known to most people with a schooling in the Netherlands, much like ‘Larousse’ (FR), ‘Duden’ (DE) or ‘Websters’ (US).Sometimes a picture speaks a dictionary. Climb up the belfry – just shy of 100 steps – and take in the views of my home town.Shop, shop, eight days a weekIf shopping is in your blood (or genes), you might run out of time in Sluis, darting from one boutique to another. Need a Sunday kind of shop? You’re on! But if shopping ain’t your thang, we have a whole town for you to appreciate. Welcome. 12096525
