Zeebrugge tourist guide - hotels and services

Besides being a pivotal harbour, Zeebrugge is also one of Europe's automotive industry hubs. A large quantity of the industry's imports and the handling and storage of a range of energy-related products are navigated through this harbour.

Zeebrugge Port has played a significant role in the upswing of Bruges' tourism industry. Several centuries ago, the original port eroded and most of it was lost. Nowadays, since the port's refurbishment, it has gained international allure and boasts numerous restaurants, hotel establishments, cafés serving world-renowned Belgian beers and a pretty beach. The port has also helped to promote the area as a centre for culture, tourism and art.

A maritime theme park is one of Zeebrugge's highlights for visitors. A Soviet Foxtrot submarine is the main display here, which is open for visitors to explore. Another attraction that focuses on the area's past as a fishing centre is the Old Fish Market building. The construction can be found on Zeebrugge's North Sea front.

A good daytrip option is a visit by tour bus to the nearby historic WWII battlefields. Tours to the quaint towns of Paschendale and Ypres or other local interesting sites are possible as well.
