Monday - Wednesday – At leisure in Ostend with two included excursions.
Ostend has been the ‘Queen of the Belgian Coast’ since its 19th-century heyday when it was a royal holiday spot and prestigious European watering hole. There are plenty of reasons that still remain to justify a visit to Ostend; great sandy beaches, a casino, racetrack, art museums, spa and good shopping opportunities.
Included Excursions
Historic Ghent
After breakfast today we have an included excursion visiting Ghent, the historic, medieval city that is fast becoming one of Europe’s most popular short break destinations. Ghent, the capital of East Flanders, which over the years has been given several names: historic heart of Flanders, a city of all times is one of the most beautiful, historic cities in Europe. The city combines an impressive past with a vivid present.
Blankenberge
Blankenberge began life as a fishing village, but with a beautiful golden coastline, it’s no surprise that it has developed into one of Belgium’s most stylish seaside resorts. The promenade is perfect for strolling and stretches for miles with golden sands on one side and the temptation of unique boutique shopping, cafés and restaurants on the other.
