Sights

Ostend is famous for its seaside esplanade, which has the Royal Galleries of Ostend, a pier, and fine-sand beaches. Many day-trippers visit Ostend on their way to the beaches, especially in July and August. Tourists from rural Belgium and foreigners travel primarily by train (day excursions) and proceed to the nearest beach area, the Klein Strand, which is located adjacent to the pier. The bigger beach is frequently occupied by Belgians and other inhabitants (het Groot Strand).

A well-preserved part of the fortified Atlantic Wall along the shore is available to the public as the Atlantic Wall Open Air Museum in Raversijde. It is possible to walk around the streets surrounding Het Vissersplein. Markets are held in the neighborhood streets at various times of the year, and music festivals are held on the Vissersplein throughout the summer. The Vissersplein (Bonenstraat/Kadzandstraat) is a car-free zone with several brasseries where clients may drink outside. There are several little fish outlets on the port side, and boats may be seen mooring beyond there.

Among the notable sites are:

Ostend's Casino and Fort Napoleon
The railway station in Oostende.
The ex-training sailing ship for Belgian merchant naval officers, the Mercator, is now accessible to the public for viewing.
Wellington's Hippodrome is a horse racing arena.
Ostend's St Petrus and St Paulus Church (Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk) was built in the Neo Gothic style.
Statue of King Leopold II
