No advance tickets. You just pay as you drink and eat.
This small town was constructed on the eastern part of an island between the North Sea and a beach lake.
To preserve their town from the ravages of the sea, the residents decided in 1395 to build a new Ostend behind some large dikes and some distance away from the wild waters.
Be sure to stroll along its famous seaside esplanade and take in its soft sandy beaches.
Places of note include the Royal Galleries, the Atlantic Wall (which has a museum) and the Mu. Zee, the museum of modern art.
The Vissersplein (Bonenstraat/Kadzandstraat) is a car free zone lined with brasseries.
A top-rated hotel with a cosy design and interior. Fantastic breakfast and great service.
Within 50 meters from the Ostend beaches.
Only a short walk to Zeeheldenplein, where you find the North Sea Beer Festival.
