Historic Ghent

Ghent proudly boasts more listed buildings than the rest of Belgium put together so it is no wonder that this is one of the scenic cities in the whole of Europe! With its beautiful waterways, quaint cobbled streets and speciality restaurants tucked away in back streets in this wonderful medieval city, it's easy to see that this is no idle boast. Take a stroll through Ghent's history with its backdrop of tiny houses overhanging the River Lys with their intricately carved stonework, or climb the 90 meters to the belfry of the Cloth Hall and see the whole of the city in one go. Like most Belgian cities, Ghent offers a rich variety of local and foreign cuisine. From fine dining to a quick snack, the city's Patershol district is the place to eat.
