    Fort Napoleon, a pentagonal military fortress by the sea in Ostend, is now a modern museum. The exhibition tells the story of the fort in a lively way. If you have the time and inclination, definitely recommended.

    The brasserie in the museum has a lovely terrace with a view of the sea and is ideal for a short break. More information, opening hours, etc. on fort-napoleon.be

      Remains of a fortress from the 18th century. Because Napoleon feared an attack from the English, he had this imposing fortress built in the dunes. Now the fortress serves as a museum about the evolution of European fortification and the Siege of Ostend.

        Super destination for those interested. The fort (audio guide) gives a deep insight into life within a Napoleonic fortress.

        The fort also has good gastronomy.
