Did you know that at the end of the 13th Century, Ypres was a leading major city with 40,000 inhabitants? This thriving centre of trade commanded respect both within and beyond the European continent.
Ypres owed its status to the 'Ypres cloth': a soft textile of top quality, ingeniously woven from the finest sheep wool. Today, imposing buildings such as the Bell Tower, the Cloth Hall and the civil and guild houses, remind us of the town's rich commerical past.
A town with many faces
Visiting Ypres is like taking a step back in time. The charm of romanticism, the glory of days gone by and a subtle air of mystery all add to its special atmosphere. The old streets surrounding the town centre bear the imprint of ages past. Take time to explore and soak up our history.
Everything is just a stone's throw away.
Two thirds of the town is ringed by impressive fortifications, which form an idyllic setting for a relaxing stroll.
