Ostend, Belgium day-trip from Bruges

travel videos & photos at: townsofeurope.com/ with text, maps & links.
Ostend, on the north coast of Belgium, is primarily popular because of its long sandy beach facing the North Sea and a waterfront promenade that goes for three miles. The city also has a lovely pedestrian zone shopping area in the center, a great place for people-watching or dog-watching.

There's also the world's longest tram line running along the entire north shore of Belgium, from the Netherlands to France. In town, you can also stroll through a beautiful green park with ponds and streams.
Ostend makes a perfect day trip from Bruges, only 15 minutes away by train. So if you are staying in Bruges for a couple of days, it's fun to hop on the train and come on up to Ostend.
Upon arrival at the Ostend train station, it's an easy walk into the center of town just minutes away, with the marina and beach nearby.
Belgium has an excellent train system with connections throughout the country and the price is reasonable. This only cost about 8 euro. We'll be taking a ride on that tram along the coastline later in the program.

Thanks very much, greatly appreciated. I photographed the video with an iPhone 14, shooting prores 4K, and also had good weather with plenty of sunshine, which brings out the colors. Now I have the iPhone 15 and am eager to use it on another trip, soon! After years of using a larger 4K high-qualiity SONY camera, I am happier with the iPhone, so easy to carry, and looks great!
