Ostend and surroundings
Ostend has something for everyone.
Sports’ adepts can walk and cycle for miles along the coast. For culture vultures we highly recommend MuZee, de Grote Post and the Casino which are within walking distance. There is also a renowned theatre festival called Theater aan Zee worth attending during the summer.
The beach is at about 500 metres and most of the shopping streets have been pedestrianized. So, Oostende stands for a lot of beach fun and shopping pleasure.
There is a range of restaurants that welcome you for a quick bite, gourmet meals and genuine bistro cuisine. Finally, Oostende is the ideal starting point for visiting other seaside resorts, cities such as Bruges and Ghent or Flanders Fields if you’re interested in war commemoration.
