Ghent

A student city with a living medieval heritage, between castles and lively quays.

About the city

Halfway between Bruges and Brussels, Ghent (Gent) was one of the largest and most powerful cities in Europe during the Middle Ages. Today it is a vibrant student city where medieval heritage coexists with a daring cultural scene. The Castle of the Counts of Flanders, a 12th-century fortress, watches over a pedestrian centre crisscrossed by canals. Saint Bavo's Cathedral houses the famous Ghent Altarpiece, the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by the Van Eyck brothers, an absolute masterpiece of Flemish painting. In the evening, the illuminated quays of the Graslei and Korenlei rank among the most beautiful urban settings in Belgium.
