Ypres, or Ieper as it's known in Dutch, is a city steeped in rich history reaching back the the Roman era. It rose to prominence during the Middle Ages, primarily due to its thriving linen trade with England, which played an instrumental role in shaping the history of the textile industry. At the heart of city sits Cloth Hall, a 13th century architectural marvel that now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum.

Strong ties run deep between Ypres and Britain. English-speaking soldiers in World War I often referred to Ypres as "Wipers", and the city became a location for the unofficial Christmas Truce between German and British soldiers. Today, Ypres remains a pilgrimage destination for Britons; a place to honour the sacrifices made by their kin during World War I and II.

Notwithstanding its turbulent past, Ypres stands proudly rebuilt; the reconstructed Cloth Hall and Saint Martin's Cathedral are testament to the city's resilience. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ypres boasts scenic beauty, awe-inspiring architecture and a palpable sense of peace that resonate with every visitor.
