Poperinge
Poperinge is situated in the south-west of Belgium. Just one kilometre from the sports grounds is the town centre. Grote Markt, a centuries-old square, is surrounded by lively pavement cafés. Fancy a quick bite?
Then you should head to the chip shop for tasty Flemish fries. Adjacent to the Grote Markt you will find Ieperstraat, Poperinge's main shopping street – the perfect place to pick up some of that delicious Belgian chocolate.
Very moreish!
