Zeebrugge

Traditional fishermen’s cafés where they serve shrimps with your beer, a delightful marina where yachts and fishing boats bob peacefully alongside each other, an endless, unspoiled and virtually empty beach, and an infectious popular atmosphere. You will find that Zeebrugge is so much more than the port that gave this seaside town its international reputation.

Places to Stay

If you want comfortable accommodation right on top of the beach in Zeebrugge, Hotel Atlas will be just right. If you are willing to go a bit further, the brand-new hotel Ter Doest in nearby Lissewege is a haven of peace in the midst of the centuries-old polders.

Places to eat

Brasserie Falstaff is a place to enjoy mussels with a sea view, while Huyze Saeftinghe in Lissewege offers very pleasant village views to accompany your tasty bistro menu. Visitors come here for a delicious slice of home-made tart or a tasty ice cream sundae.

Things to enjoy

A cup of chowder at the Zeemeermin, De Lichtboeie or De Kuisbank, watching the immense ships pass by or admiring them at close quarters from the Franlis passenger ferry. Finish off the day with orchid spotting at nature reserve De Fonteintjes.
