Zeebrugge (meaning "sea landing) is a harbour-town on the coast of Belgium, a subdivision of Bruges, for which it is the modern port. It serves as an international Port and a seafront resort with hotels, cafés and beach. Zeebrugge has been instrumental in Brugge's reinvigoration as a city, which unfortunately lost its harbor to silting hundreds of years ago. The construction of the new seaport at Zeebrugge began at the turn of the 20th century and the city's reputation as an art and tourist center for Northern Europe began its revival. The marina is also Belgium’s most important fishing port, and the wholesale fish market located there is one of the largest in Europe. Aside from being a passenger port with ferries to the UK, the harbour serves as the central port for Europe's automotive industry and is important for the importation, handling and storage of energy products, agriculture products and other general cargo.

In Zeebrugge's old fish market area, along the old quays you will find lots of fish restaurants, fish stores and enjoyable pubs. The maritime theme park "Seafront Zeebrugge" extends over an area of 20,000 m² in and around the building of the old fish market. Seafront Zeebrugge is especially famous for its real Russian submarine, which can also be visited. In this 100 meter long steel colossus you will experience how the 75 crew members lived and worked in a very cramped situation for months. Next to this, the 400 meter long building of the old fish market also has a indoor-exhibition with hundreds of pictures, video projections, lifelike settings, scale-models, sounds and interactive computers.
