Ghent
Ghent is a historic city, yet at the same time a contemporary one. The modern daily life of the city’s active inhabitants plays itself out against a gorgeous historical backdrop. In Ghent, they live, work and enjoy life over and over again each day. The city is alive and bids you welcome
Why Ghent?
- Because Lonely Planet has called our city “Europe’s best kept secret” and a must see destination, and more recently “a city small enough to feel cosy but big enough to stay vibrant”.
- Because National Geographic Traveler Magazine has listed our city as the most authentic historic city in the world and full of life.
- Because you must witness with your own eyes what Napoleon and the mysterious thief of “the Just Judges” panel already knew: The Mystic Lamb really is key to European art history.
- Because Ghent is at the crossroads of the most important inland waterways in Flanders.
- Because the city comes to life again after sunset.
- And of course because you like to get off the beaten track.
That's why!
