About this activity

Your ship has sunk. You've washed up on the shores of Ostend using your underwear as a sail. Today is your lucky day: before you can find a drink or a single plate of fries, you need to find the Queen of Ostend first.

This self-guided quest takes you on an 81-minute walk through the coastal city of Ostend. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you explore 12 stops between Ostend Station and the seafront fish market: discover the last fishing boat to sail to Iceland, the city's most controversial nude statue, the historic Mercator sailing ship, a school that produced two of Belgium's most famous painters, a WWII courthouse, and the surprising truth about the one and only Queen of Ostend, revealed only at the very end.

Start whenever you like and explore 3 kilometres of Ostend's harbour, streets, and seawall entirely at your own pace. A great option in all weather.

Perfect for families, couples, and curious explorers. A sense of humour helps. Local knowledge not required.
