点评:The market square (Grote Markt) in the centre of Ypres is the best starting point for exploring the city.
It is dominated by the medieval Cloth Hall and the 13th century St Martins Cathedral (both were all but levelled during the WWI bombing but have been entirely rebuilt).
We started at the Ypres Tourist Centre which is located inside the Cloth Hall on the ground floor. It was well stocked with free maps and brochures and there were several staff who are all available to assist.
We stayed just a coupe of streets away from the square so we walked here for dinner. There’s a string of restaurants and bars, all with outside seating that looks across the square. We had an excellent dinner at In 't Klein Stadhuis, which is tucked into the corner next to the Cloth Hall.
If you can, try to stay close by the square. We stayed on Oude Houtmarktstraat, which was just a short 5 minutes walk to the square and it meant that we could walk to all of the main sights, including the Menin gate, very easily.
翻译:伊普尔市中心的集市广场(Grote Markt)是探索这座城市的最佳起点。
广场上矗立着中世纪的纺织会馆和13世纪的圣马丁大教堂(两者在第一次世界大战的轰炸中几乎被夷为平地,但现已完全重建)。
我们从位于纺织会馆一楼的伊普尔旅游中心出发。那里有丰富的免费地图和宣传册,还有几位工作人员随时准备提供帮助。
我们住的地方离广场只有几条街,所以我们步行到这里吃晚饭。广场上有很多餐厅和酒吧,都设有户外座位,可以俯瞰广场。我们在纺织会馆旁边角落里的In't Klein Stadhuis餐厅享用了一顿美味的晚餐。
如果可以,尽量住在广场附近。我们住在 Oude Houtmarktstraat,步行 5 分钟即可到达广场,这意味着我们可以非常轻松地步行到所有主要景点,包括梅宁门。
