Ghent.

Belgium's best-kept secret, Ghent is a rebellious, student-driven city that pairs medieval grandeur with a gritty, modern edge. With its award-winning lighting and world-class altarpiece, it offers a more authentic Flemish experience.


Why Visit Ghent?

  • Historic Core: The center of the 'Three Towers' and the Korenmarkt, where the city's medieval power is most visible.
  • Patershol: A maze of cobblestone streets behind the castle, now home to the city's best selection of high-end and traditional restaurants.
  • The Missing Panel: Look closely at the Ghent Altarpiece; the 'Just Judges' panel is a copy, the original having been stolen in 1934 and never recovered.
