The westernmost province of Belgium, this area hosts the entire Belgian North Sea coast, which is a major tourist destination in the country, so a holiday in West Flanders will surely be a hit. Bruges is the capital of the province of West Flanders, also called "the Venice of the North", it is endowed with romantic canals and picturesque little streets. A holiday home in West Flanders will be the perfect starting point to explore this beautiful city along with the town of Ypres with its battlefields and monuments dedicated to dead soldiers, and the refurbished medieval edifices. The Belgian seaside is a must in this area, and not only for enjoying the sun and the sand, but also for water sports and maybe even try your luck in a casino. And let's not forget about the beautiful Wijnendale Castle, the historically most important and most beautiful Flemish castle, surrounded by a circular moat.
Belgium has some like 70 km of coastline at the North Sea, but you should know that its white sand beaches are very well maintained and a holiday in West Flanders will allow you to enjoy them in every possible way. On the Belgian North Sea coast is where you will find the longest tram line in the world that connects all the resort towns from De Panne (to the southwest) to Knokke-Heist (to the northeast). Pretty neat indeed...Like the De Panne resort is across the border from France, so it is a favorite place for French people and it has not only a great beach but also many restaurants and shops in hand. If you go to Nieuwport you should not miss out on the famous seafood here, as in Ostend will charm you not only with the beach and water sports opportunities but also with numerous museums and a vivid nightlife. There is also the little town of De Haan, Blankenberg where they even hold a Sand Festival, where participants build sand castles based on a specific theme. Wherever you decide to book a holiday home in the West Flanders, you are sure to find a good time at the beach and many attractions that will suit everyone's interest.
