This ancient trading centre is now a lively city with a beautiful old town and excellent nightlife. The city is also the place to go to experience the Dutch pastime of wadlopen - walking in mud during low tide. Wadlopen, however can be dangerous and it's advisable to book an excursion through the tourist office - you may need to book well in advance in the May and August holiday periods.
