*The [[Belfry (architecture)|belfry]] contains a 30-bell [[carillon]] and is a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]], on the list [[Belfries of Belgium and France]].<ref>{{cite web |title=World Heritage List {{!}} Belfries of Belgium and France |work=[[UNESCO]] |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/943 |access-date=2021-03-16 |archive-date=27 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160727131937/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/943/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
*The City Hall and neighbouring Saint Nicolas Church were completely rebuilt after World War I in the [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] style of the 14th and 15th centuries.
*The "Trench of Death" ({{langx|nl|[[Dodengang]]}}), about {{cvt|1.5|km}} from the centre of the city, preserves the [[Trench warfare|trench]] setting where Belgian soldiers fought under the most perilous conditions until the final offensive of 28 September 1918.
*The [[Yser Tower]] peace monument was built during the 1920s but demolished in 1946 as it had been the scene of Nazi ceremonies and collaboration during World War II. A new tower was built in the 1950s which houses a World War I museum owned by the [[United Nations]], where it is possible to experience [[mustard gas]] odour gas. The Yser Tower is also the scene of the yearly {{langnf|nl|[[IJzerbedevaart]]|Pilgrimage of the Yser|links=no}}, a celebration of peace and of Flemish political autonomy. However, the tower had become associated with neo-Nazis from all over Europe but eventually the organisers succeeded in banning neo-Nazis. The more radical Flemish faction now organizes the {{langnf|nl|[[IJzerwake]]|Yser Vigil|links=no}}.
*Several military cemeteries are located around {{lang|nl|Diksmuide}}, including the [[Vladslo German war cemetery]], which is now the resting place for more than 25,000 German soldiers and has the famous sculpture of the 'Mourning parents' by [[Käthe Kollwitz]].
*Diksmuide used to have its own weekly magazine called ''Weekblad van Dixmude''.
