Best Things to Do in Ghent
Ghent, European Youth Capital 2024, is Belgium’s hidden treasure and is strategically located between Brussels and Bruges. This charming medieval city, with seamless connections from Brussels and Charleroi Airports, invites you to explore its picturesque canals, indulge in the finest Belgian beer, and immerse yourself in a dynamic cultural landscape.
‘The historic heart of Flanders’, ‘a city of all ages’, ‘Mediaeval Manhattan’ and ‘Europe’s best-kept secret’: the nicknames Ghent has collected over the years are as colorful as the city itself. Walk through the center of Ghent and you will immediately see why it has won so many tourism prizes. Nowhere else can you flit so quickly from the 14th to the 21st century and back again, without feeling out-of-place for a minute.
Belgium’s fourth-largest city is home to a quarter of a million people and a flourishing flower export trade. An important port, Ghent’s city center is a pedestrian area that is like a museum to early Flemish architecture and a testament to the city’s medieval might. Impressive Gothic sites, such as dramatic St. Bavo’s Cathedral and the Castle of the Counts, inspire awe.
1) Gravensteen
Also known as the “Castle of the Counts” in Dutch, this incredible structure was built in 1180. Today it houses the Arms Museum and the Museum of Judicial Objects. These display various weapons used in warfare and other contraptions used for punishment and torture during medieval times. Interesting items include the guillotine and “Mask of Shame”. Not for the faint-hearted! To conclude your visit, make sure you go to the rooftop for views of the city and one of the few places you can see the 4 Mediaeval Towers of Ghent piercing the skyline.
2) St Michael’s Bridge (Sint-Michielshelling)
St. Michael’s Bridge is the only spot where the Mediaeval Towers of Ghent – St Nicholas’ Church (Sint Niklaaskerk), the Belfry of Ghent, and St Bavo’s Cathedral are all aligned for a great photo opportunity. Bring your camera!
3) St Bavo’s Cathedral (Sint-Baafskathedraal)
This historic 11th-century icon in Ghent is where Charles V (Holy Roman Emperor) was baptized! It is also where you’ll find The world-famous Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. The significance of this altarpiece is definitely a reason to visit as it was painted by the great masters Hubert and Jan van Eyck around 1432. Unfortunately, the ‘Just Judges’ panel was stolen in 1934 and is yet to be found. Take a closer look and find out more about the Ghent Altarpiece.
4) Ghent Belfry (Belfort)
The UNESCO World Heritage Ghent Belfry is the tallest building in Belgium. Climb to the top for magnificent views and to see the copper dragon that has been watching over the city and guarding the Belfry since the 14th century!
5) Graslei & Korenlei
Arguably the most beautiful place in the city, the Graslei (Grass Quay) and Korenlei (Corn Quay) lie at the very heart of Ghent. These quays stretch along the Leie River with Graslei and its unique medieval buildings on the right bank, and Korenlei along the left. It’s considered one of the oldest locations in Ghent and it is a popular meeting place with many café’s to be enjoyed today.
6) Local Belgian Beers
Beer is renowned in Belgium and there are thousands to try. So, even if you aren’t a beer drinker, you’re still going to love this. That may sound contradictory, but in Ghent after one sip of a Lindeman’s Apple beer, you’ll understand. There are a variety of fruity flavors such as Raspberry (Framboise), Peach (Pêcheresse), and Cherry (Kriek) that don’t even taste like beer!
7) Patershol
Patershol is a picturesque neighborhood near the Castle of the Counts dotted with restaurants and boutique specialty shops. The cobblestone alleys here have remained unchanged since medieval times which makes you feel like you’re lost in a fairytale – Feel the Magic!
8) Canal Cruise
Canal cruises are a must in Ghent as they are a wonderful way to see and learn about the city from a local perspective. There are a few locations over the city where you can just hop on board and your captain doubles as your guide. Simply choose a location, pay for your ticket, wait for the next boat, and enjoy!
9) Vrijdagmarkt
“Vrijdagmarkt” translates to Friday Market because market stalls have been hosted here each Friday since the 12th century. Talk about a tradition! Today, Vrijdagmarkt is a meeting point for locals and visitors alike. Check out the buildings on the square and see if you can find one of the skinniest buildings in Ghent! Vrijdagmarkt has a buzzing atmosphere, especially in the late afternoon with cozy Belgian pubs and restaurants in abundance. Be sure to try a traditional Flemish dish, “waterzooi”. This delicious meal originated in Ghent and is a Belgian delicacy!
10) Magical Ghent by Night
As evening falls, the daylight in Ghent does not simply make way for the streetlights. There is light art to enjoy as well. Streets, squares, and buildings are covered in an artistic light display. It is almost as though the city were getting dressed up for the theatre. The effect is awe-inspiring. Discover Ghent Alight and immerse yourself in this delightful evening experience!
