About the destination

Spiritual stronghold of Flanders, second Belgian port and major industrial centre, Ghent is also a university city that exudes vitality. Built at the meeting point of the Leie and the Scheldt, the city is interlaced with numerous canals and waterways. Birthplace of Charles V, Ghent is steeped in history and monuments, and its old neighbourhoods and docks are brimming with poetry. The lighting transforms a simple evening stroll into something extraordinary. Gravensteen, translating to castle of the counts in Flemish, is a sight to behold. Constructed in 1180 by Philippe d’Alsace, count of Flanders, Gravensteen Castle is a must-visit for any history enthusiast. With walls that are two meters thick, Gravensteen houses a torture museum, displaying various torture methods that were once employed at the castle. Gravensteen Castle is situated on the eastern bank of the river Leie, right in the heart of Gent's historic city centre. The striking gothic cathedral is one of the city's landmarks. Saint Bavo’s Cathedral is a stunning structure with so much to see inside that it should be considered a museum visit. The tower that rises up in front is impressive, one of the three towers that dominate the city centre, the others belong to Belfort and St. Nickolas church. The cathedral is home to the renowned altarpiece painting, the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. The Belfry Tower, Belford, was erected in 1380 as a symbol of the self-governed and independent city of Gent. It was later also used as a treasury and watch tower. The Belfry is one of the three towers, which dominate the skyline of the historic city centre. The Brabant Gothic style tower stands at 91 metres tall and can be climbed for panoramic views. The third tower that dominates the skyline belongs to St. Nicholas' Church. The church was built in the 13th century and is the finest example of Scheldt Gothic in Belgium. As one of the oldest churches in the city, it stands right in the heart of Ghent. Beautifully classical, Ghent is a compact, authentic city where the past and present exist in perfect harmony.
