The entire historic centre has been recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site. We have included a guided minibus tour, which is one of the best ways to see the sights of the charming city.

A visit to the border town of Ypres. It is probably best known as scene of dramatic battles of World War I and the Menin gate, dedicated to the brave soldiers who perished with no known graves. Every evening the Last Post is sounded beneath the Gate in honour of British Empire soldiers who fought and died there.
