Touristic information

Middelkerke
Middelkerke is a seaside-resort situated 5 miles south-west of Ostend. This tourist town offers all possible attractions for foreign guests. Along the boulevard you will find the Casino of Middelkerke, bars, restaurants and of course several attractive shopping streets.

Ostend (15 miles from Middelkerke).
Ostend is also known as the 'Queen of the Coastal Towns' and is the only Belgian coastal resort that is as lifely in the winter as it is in the summer. Culture, sport, gastronomy: there's a huge variety of things to choose from. Ostend typically comes alive at night with its many restaurants, bars and English pubs. Because of the fact that thousands of English tourists visit Ostend each year, the English even call the city of Ostend 'the most British town in Europe'.

Bruges. (20 miles from Middelkerke).
With its beautiful, romantic centre filled with monumental buildings is one of the tourist highlights of Belgium. No wonder that the city lures every season of the year many tourists. In particular the “Grand Square” and area around it, is famous for its cultural treasures. Bruges' main shopping and entertainment centre is around the Markt. This is where all the shopping streets such as the Steenstraat and the Zuidzandstraat, meet up. Don't forget to check out the side streets. There are also two markets on Saturdays. Bruges is a great town for an evening out, with no end of pubs, beer houses, bistros and restaurants. Younger people flock to the Eiermarkt and the pubs and disco bars on Op 't Zand.

The Markt is the centre of Bruges cultural life.
You can't miss the 83 metre, octagonal Belfort tower, from where you'll enjoy wonderful views of the city and even the coastline when the weather permits! Check out Bruges from the other side by taking a boat trip which will transport you around the canals. There are five departure points (incl. the Nieuwstraat and Wollestraat).

Why not combine a day at the beach with a museum?
In Ostend, you can visit the North Sea aquarium or the Amandine ship, which houses an interactive fisheries museum. Sporty beach visitors can go (kite) surfing at a number of locations.

Dolfinarium Boudewijnparc in Brugge.
Dolfinarium Boudewijnparc is one of the largest Marine Animal Parcs in Europe with more than 25 attractions and shows. Discover the World of the See and meet the dolphins, sea lions, walruses and seals during the various shows. A delightful Dolfinarium day is not only filled with things to learn about, but also full of excitement with great fun. The little ones can visit Bambinoland, but the `Hurricane`, the `Orca-ride`, the wild river, an indoor ice-skating ring and a Big Wheel are attractions for the older ones.

Funparc Plopsaland in Adinkerke-De Panne (25 km from Middelkerke).
Funparc Plopsaland to admire the first rays of sunshine in the Fairy Tale Forest, feel the wind in your hair during a ride in the Dragon or at the wild river of the Castle of King Samson. For the little ones there is Plopgarden with f.e. the traffic parc, the Plopsa Train Express and a huge playground with all kinds of attractions. Plopsaland has more than 30 attractions and shows for young and old, so bring a visit to Plopsaland and experience another beautiful day at the Belgian Coast.

Program introduction
If you like football as much as the beach, the Belgian coast is a safe bet at Easter time. Springtime in Ostend is the time and place of the Sirene Cup. The programme offers the participants plenty of opportunity for some lazy time on the seafront or the beach after or in-between the matches. The participants to this tournament will be playing at least five matches, but on Saturday these are imited to either the morning or the afternoon in order to allow time to explore the surroundings.The weekend will kick of on Friday with the arrival of the teams. Teams that arrive early will have the chance to explore the attractions of Ostend. The tournament itself starts on Saturday when the group matches will be played. At noon the welcome ceremony is planned as well as the team leaders' reception. In the evening a social party will be organised in the marquee though the older players might want to investigate the nightlife in Ostend instead. For the youngsters a Penalty Cup will be organised. However, on Sunday all players are expected back on the fields because on this last day of the Sirene Cup the remaining group- and intermediate matches will be played. After the finals the prize-giving ceremony will end this years' edition of the Sirene Cup.
