Tip 1: City of Ypres is best known for 2 reasons: its medieval and other historical past (think of the Cloth Halls, Belfry, Yper Museum, Vauban fortifications ...) and memory tourism (In Flanders Fields Museum, the Menin Gate, the Last Post...). In scientific circles, Ypres is also known for its Project- and Observatory AstroLAB IRIS (located in the Provincial Domain De Palingbeek, the enthusiastic group of volunteers receive as many as 10,000 visitors a year). This is one of six public observatories recognized by the Flemish Government. In technical and industrial circles, Ypres is world famous for its loom manufacturer Picanol. This company recently built a new headquarters in Ypres and can also be visited.
Tip 2: If you are interested in the so-called "memory tourism", you can also visit nearby Zonnebeke: Tyne Cot, Passchendaele Museum, and so on. Look here for our list of attractions for Zonnebeke.
