Dunkerque tourist guide - hotels and services

Dunkirk is most known to many as one of the worst hit locations in France during the Second World War and was indeed all but devastated by the bombings in that war. Today the rebuilt city is a vital industrial centre popular for its close situation to Belgium and its top quality museums.

If you have time left before or following a ferry sailing, the town of Dunkirk provides a number of shopping opportunities and numerous interesting museums. As the sun goes down, Dunkirk's plenty of restaurants open and serve mouth-watering French cuisine. In addition, the bars offer outstanding local produced wines and beers.

Dunkirk is not really a significant holiday destination and as such does not provide a large number of man-made attractions. Museums are probably Dunkirk's highlight and travellers to the area should not miss a visit to the Musée Portuaire, this museum is dedicated to telling the fascinating story of the port and its historical importance. Meanwhile, the Musée des Beaux-Arts displays a great and comprehensive collection of Italian, French and Flemish art. The border of Belgium is just 9.5kms away and if you have a little more time to spare you could visit the charming and popular Flemish seaside resort of Oostende (Ostend).
