Knokke-Heist
Entertainment
As a holiday resort, entertainment is Knokke-Heist’s forte. Tourists never get bored with the vast range of beach activities, shops, restaurants and bars on offer.
Knokke Casino makes for a great evening of diverse entertainment. It was built in the 1920s in marvellous art-deco splendour, although it had to be extensively renovated after the war. It’s on Zeedijk-Alberstrand by the seafront and is an enormous complex with dozens of slot machines and gaming tables. There’s also a restaurant and several bars to make it a night out to remember. Even if you’re not much of a gambler, it’s worth visiting just to marvel at the lavish interior. The main hall is adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers, pop-art friezes by Keith Haring and paintings by Paul Delvaux, while there’s a function room with Magritte friezes on all sides.
Cartoons are very popular in Belgium with both adults and children alike and Knokke-Heist holds a festival every year to celebrate this modern art form. Top cartoonists from all over the world exhibit a diverse range of works, from comical to satirical and subtle to surreal.
