Why Ostend?
The coastal city of Ostend is over a thousand years old and has a population of around 700,000. During the summer months the town is popular with its native Belgians due largely to its beach resorts and opportunities for surfing and sailing and of course the warm climate. The charming old town and fishing port are also popular. The city also offers a number of interesting museums such as The Museum of Fine Arts featuring the work of famous Belgian painter James Ensor or visit the North Sea Aquarium to keep the kids happy. For those interested in the maritime past of Belgium visit the three mast ship Mercator, open to the public in the area of the inner harbour.
