Ghent is a city steeped in history, with the Castle of the Counts, the Adoration of
the Lamb of God, medieval streets and buildings, and the confluence of the Leie
and Scheldt rivers.

The city’s creative talents and port have injected new energy into the landscape, replacing old factories with diverse cafes, restaurants, and cultural centres. Ghent’s museum quarter boasts impressive venues such as MSK, SMAK, and STAM, while the ten-day Ghent Festivities are a unique city-wide celebration. For those seeking a hidden gem, Ghent is a must-see destination.
