Coming to Blankenberge for the most beautiful coast in Belgium and its emblematic Belgium’s Pier, you will also be able to take advantage of the opportunity to discover its hidden gem of Old Town, seemingly kept a secret by the high Atlantic Wall from World War II. The charming little town inherited a rich cultural heritage from the golden years in its heyday of the Belle Époque (French for “the beautiful age”) between the late 19th century and early 20th century, including the vintage Flemish Renaissance Old Town Hall, the tranquil Neo-Romanesque Saint Roch Church, the authentic fishermen’s house of Majutte's House from the 18thcentury, and the vibrant Paravang Promenade where traditional festivals are often hosted.

What To Expect

Belgium Pier

Start at the most emblematic icon of the Belgian coast: Belgium Pier, one of the only two piers at the Atlantic and North Sea coasts of Europe. The 20th-century structure sticking out into the sea for nearly half a kilometer offers strollers a chance to indulge in the spectacular views in all directions, salty air, delightful breeze, and calming sound of the beautiful sea.

Then, join the Sea Wall Promenade, which has a special sense of history attached to it: the raised pathway was part of the Atlantic Wall, constructed by the German Nazis. The wall has now transformed into an atmospheric walkway dotted with meandering tourists and entertainment centers, such as Casino Blankenberge, and thus a great spot for people-watching and soaking up the vibes.
