#visitgent city walk

Visit Gent: Here (and only here) you can admire Ghent´s skyline in its entirety. The monumental bridge itself you better admire from the Graslei’ #visitgent

Visit Gent: Now that we´ve photographed them, we can go and admire the three towers from close-by. The first tower is built in the thirteenth century Gothic style with blue stone. #visitgent

Visit Gent: The multifunctional and open city pavilion is an architectural masterpiece. This location can host concerts, dance performances and markets. #visitgent

Amaury Van Kenhove: One of the three towers in Ghent. Definitely worth a visit, climb up to the tower and enjoy the sight.

Visit Gent: St. Bavo’s Cathedral houses an impressive number of art treasures. However, one work stands out above the rest: the world-famous Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by Hubert and Jan van Eyck around 1432.

Visit Gent: Ghent’s town hall is a building with many faces. The flamboyant Gothic style of the façade in Hoogpoort contrasts sharply with the rather sober Renaissance style of the Botermarkt side.

Visit Gent: Jacob van Artevelde managed to undo the boycott of English wool imports during the Hundred Years’ War in the 14th century. Since 1863 his statue at Vrijdagmarkt has been pointing to England #visitgent

Visit Gent: Thirty years ago, you could buy a little house here for next to nothing. Today, the Patershol is one of the city’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Visit Gent: It was here that Charles V was born in 1500. The Prinsenhof, as it was called then (and still is), was around 2 hectares in size and fully walled. #visitgent

Visit Gent: De Lievekaai is a lovely and romantic spot with a fantastic atmosphere, right under the weeping willows along the Lieve canal. #visitgent

Visit Gent: If you enter the old fish market with its beautiful gateway you can visit our new information center. You can surf on the high-tech table or let our staff put a smile on your face! #visitgent

Visit Gent: Ghent’s oldest building is the Castle of the Counts. Nowhere else in the world will you find such a massive castle right in the heart of the city. Go back in time. #visitgent

Visit Gent: A hidden gem in the city! #visitgent

Visit Gent: Better view on the old harbor from this side than from the more popular Graslei on the other side of the water. #visitgent
