Visiting the Queen
Ostend is known as the ‘Queen of the Belgian seaside towns’ and it is a fitting description. Besides sea, sand and a promenade, Ostend also has pleasant shopping streets, restaurants and bustling nightlife. For those who want to combine all this with a international youth football tournament, there is now the North Sea Trophy. The location for this tournament is the brand new Sportpark De Schorre which has ten pitches, a splendid clubhouse and a reception room. Ascension Day at the international youth football tournament in Ostend – what a great idea!

Informacje turystyczne
Oostende
Oostende (70,000 inhabitants) offers everything you would expect from a seaside town: an expanse of sea, a beautiful beach and a boulevard jam-packed with restaurants, cafés and hotels. In addition, the area behind the boulevard is riddled with shopping streets. In short: Oostende is a seaside town with an urban flair. De Schorre sports park is a couple of kilometres away from the centre and the boulevard.
Activities
Oostende Municipal Swimming Pool:
Is it too cold outside, or are you not keen on the salty seawater? Then head to the Oostende municipal swimming pool to cool off.
Fort Napoleon:
At the end of the 18th century, France annexed our provinces. Napoleon feared an English attack on the port of Oostende, so in 1811 he had an imposing fort built in the dunes: Fort Napoleon. It is now a museum, bistro and restaurant - it's really worth a visit.
