Poperinge
A West Flanders town near the French border, Poperinge is known across Belgium for its hops, with fields covering much of the surrounding countryside, and for its First World War heritage. The compact centre has a real café and restaurant scene shaped in part by a strong local beer culture, and the wider municipality — which includes six surrounding villages — also draws cyclists and hikers exploring the region's rural landscape.
