Take a citytrip to Ghent

Discover the city

Ghent is a great city for shopping, fine dining and going out to the pub!

Ghent is the destination for you if you love history paired with modern entertainment. In this medieval city, you can admire beautiful old buildings, visit museums, shop well and go wild at the Ghent Festivities in summer.

This will automatically bring you to the city's three towers: St Bavo's Cathedral with the world-famous Mystic Lamb, the Belfry with the Golden Dragon and St Nicholas' Church. Stroll around the car-free city centre where you will find a mix of centuries-old churches, modern architecture, squares, fun cafés, new pop-up shops and cosy parks.
