It was lovely to pop into an exhibition at St Peter’s Abbey. And what a beautiful garden the abbey has!
This is the ideal neighbourhood if you can’t get enough of a lively atmosphere. The southern part of Ghent is home to the largest number of students. The university and university of applied sciences are deeply intertwined with the city in this area. The neighbourhood therefore owes its lively character to these enthusiastic young people. But there’s more. At the heart of this neighbourhood lies Woodrow Wilsonplein, better known as ‘Het Zuid’. In the park behind the former city library, you used to find the city’s first tram station. From here, the city centre is accessible via Vlaanderenstraat, where the slightly more upmarket shops, coffee bars, lovely cafés and restaurants line the street.
