I have been living in Oostende all my life and i really love this city. Oostende is also known as "The Queencity of the Coast" because one of our kings had a house here. You can do everything (almost) here, museums, art, theater, cinema, nighlife, sightseeing, relax,....
The last 3 years the government has been busy with renovating the streets and the seaside and it turned out great.

If you are planning a trip to Belgium you must come to Oostende, for me it is the best coastcity, and i would like to be your guide if I have time.

Hi, my baby is turning one and I can't find a place to celebrate his birthday. I've been to the indoor playground by the bowling but they dont do parties for 1 year old babies. And I'd like a more modern place. Do you know any places? Thanks, Silvi

I enjoyed your Oostende page. I've only been to Belgium once, to Gent, but would like to explore the coast by tram some time, and try my luck in the casinos !!. Cheers, Clive
