Ghent melds the fairy tale-like beauty of Bruges with its stunning Flemish architecture, while at the same time supporting a vibrant cafe and bar scene.

Your list of things to see and do now includes Rederij De Gentenaer, Prinsenhof, Trollekelder, and other attractions. Discover out-of-the-way places like Museum Voor Schone Kunsten and Design Museum Gent. Gravensteen and Saint Nicholas Church will appeal to history buffs. Venture out of the city with trips to Pierre Marcolini (in Antwerp) and ZOO Planckendael (in Mechelen). The adventure continues: admire the landmark architecture of Ghent Town Hall (Stadhuis), don't miss a visit to Belfry and Cloth Hall (Belfort en Lakenhalle), and stop by Patershol.
