Delfzijl Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
city and former municipality in Groningen, Netherlands
About Delfzijl
The city has a large industrial area, a busy port, a tiny beach and a few attractions to entertain the (mostly accidental) visitors. The place is not recommended for a longer stay, but has plenty of shops, a few hotels and a well stocked public library with internet facilities. Delfzijl gained national notoriety in 2005 and 2006 because of political turmoil caused by its bickering local politicians. One of the last mayors to leave town in a hurry (Ms. Marritje Appel), bitterly denounced the city as "Sicily of the North". During the local elections of 2006 30% of all voters in the city of Delfzijl submitted an "abstain vote".
