Ostend, vintage splendour in the Queen of seaside towns

Ostend is a historic town with a cosmopolitan, modern, and bustling side. Generations of eccentric artists have found inspiration in the city of James Ensor, which you can see immediately in the city’s cultural offering, which includes the authentically renovated Casino-Kursaal theatre complex, Mu.ZEE and the Ensor House. But you can always just head to the beach for a sunbathing session or shop till you drop in the shopping streets that are open every day, including Sundays.
