Locals and tourists alike love Ghent. What’s not to love in the city after all, there is great art, great food and it is one of the countries best kept secrets. Ghent still feels fairly small compared to other cities in Europe and despite being a great place for a break, it is not overrun by tourists and sightseers.
Ghent is a perfect blend of industry and medieval architecture which will appease every travellers European city palette. Nightlife and food are also good with some truly great food being served at a range of restaurants that will suit all budgets. Find our restaurant recommendations below. Beer is king in Belgium and Ghent is home to the famous Gruut beer.
Gent has always been the city where I studied at college and university. I know this town very well. Over the years I guided colleagues from my company through town and told them all this city.
