On a guided tour, you’ll see many famous works from the Old Masters, including the eminent Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer. The astonishing collection has earned this building the appropriate nickname ‘the jewellery box’.

    This towering Gothic cathedral in Ghent contains some remarkable artwork, the most influential of which is the 15th century painting The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by the Van Eyck brothers.
