Shopping Knokke
The Lippenslaan is a well-known, long and renovated shopping
street., The further you walk from here in the direction of the Zoute,
the more the 'look at me' factor arises.
Trendy cars, more expensive handbags, more fashionable shops,
sophisticated ladies and golfing carts all over the place, create the image
of the street. The Zoute is the most sophisticated resort on the
coast, with stately avenues as well as winding lanes in the quiet neighbourhoods,
eye-catching villas and a golf course.
