West Flanders is one of the five provinces of Flanders in Belgium and the westernmost province of the country. It covers the entire coastline of Belgium and is, therefore, one of everyone's favorite travel destinations in the summer months. By far the most popular and beloved by tourists is the provincial capital, Bruges, thanks to its unique medieval charm. Otherwise, West Flanders is primarily an agricultural and suburban region. There is plenty of open countryside between the small towns and villages, and the general flatness of the region makes it ideal for cycling vacations. It is very difficult to get bored in this province. Things to do range from romantic getaways with your special someone to cozy little villages with local food and wine, day trips and excursions with the family, and cultural visits to heritage cities full of churches and cathedrals, which are just a small part of the wide variety of things to do. Bruges is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world. You will be amazed by the magnitude of the perfectly preserved medieval area. You can walk for hours and you will always see a small cobblestone alley or a medieval square. You will continually notice the beauty and history all around you. There are other charming towns such as Ieper, with its abundance of cemeteries, memorials, and WWI war museums. The market square of Ypres (Grote Markt) is a beautiful square located in the center of the city. The square is surrounded by historic buildings that tower over the terraces of cafes, gift stores, fountains, and market stalls that are set up on Saturdays. There is also Ostend, known for its long beach and promenade. One of the reasons to include this destination in the tour of Belgium is that Ostend is known as the queen of seaside resorts. It is the ideal place to sunbathe and dive into its waters, but do not forget that even in summer the water is cold. It is a completely familiar place. In addition, you can develop your sports skills if you are a lover of adrenaline and surfing. But also Blankenberge, another coastal village perfect for a day at the beach if the weather is good. Originally it was a quiet fishing village, but since the early twentieth century, it began to be frequented as a summer resort. Today, it is a traditional holiday destination.
