Ypres

With such rich history Ypres is a hotspot for a city trip. The city breathes history: from the Great War at the Menin Gate – which is also the start of the Gent-Wevelgem races -  to the Tyne Cot and much more. Did you know the Lakenhallen were completely restored after the war? They are the heritage of a flourishing trade city of the Middle Ages. You also cannot miss the cathedral, Grote Markt and the Vauban. The beautiful nature around the city are perfect for walking and cycling between the green meadows and cemeteries of the Great War. Every night at 8 p.m. you can hear the Last Post, which creates an intense atmosphere.
