Hidden spots
Ypres is full of hidden spots! You just have to know where to look.
Around the Vesten, you’ll find quiet corners by the water where you can sit, relax, or just watch the city slow down. And if you’re into walking, there are some stunning trails that take you through peaceful green areas, away from the crowds.
It’s not all big monuments and history, sometimes the real beauty of Ypres is in those little moments and places you stumble upon by accident.
