There's nothing like the experience of taking the train to Ostend, because as soon as you leave the station, the fine sand is there - or almost there! Past the Icelandic boat L'Amandine, it's only a 2-minute walk to sunbathing on the beach. And the seaside town has so much more to offer! The restaurants on Quai des Pêcheurs give you the chance to savor all the delights of the sea, while overlooking the fish market and the comings and goings of fishing boats. But in the center of town, on the Promenade Albert-Ier and in other lesser-known areas, numerous restaurants serve up exquisite meals. Those who want to enjoy the nightlife should head for the Langestraat and its surroundings, where you'll find lively cafés, bars and pleasant discotheques. And for those who want to try a little gambling, there's of course the casino. In Ostend, the Belle Époque has survived in many places, such as the Brasserie du Parc, a building worth seeing, where Art Deco delights locals and seduces visiting tourists.In the center, you can cycle or take the streetcar from the local history museum to the Wellington racecourse, a relic from the time of King Leopold II, who made the small coastal town famous as a holiday resort. Ostend boasts no fewer than sixty hotels, ranging from four-star hotels with all mod cons, to simple small hotels offering basic comfort, to mid-range hotels. The city also offers a wide choice of accommodation for meetings and seminars. Last but not least, in the city by the sea, culture lovers won't be disappointed: Mu.ZEE, the art museum, regularly organizes themed exhibitions that attract the general public to the Romestraat. On rainy days, you can also enjoy the following attractions: the Mercator three-master, the Raversijde Estate, theAmandine - the last Icelandic ship - the Japanese Garden and Fort Napoléon.
