Return details
-
VrijdagmarktWe'll start the tour at one of the most important historical market squares of Ghent: the Friday Market or Vrijdagmarkt.
-
PatersholThis medieval neighborhood in the shadow of the Castle of the Counts is the most quaint and charming historical area of Ghent. It still has the original medieval street lay-out.
-
PrinsenhofThis picturesque neighborhood still hides some reminders of the impressive Prince's Court where future Emperor Charles V was born. An often overlooked historical area with charming cobblestone streets, great views from the bridges over the Lieve Canal and many intriguing stories.
- The former residence of the counts of Flanders is an amazing medieval castle surrounded by moats in the middle of the city center. We won't be going inside the castle but we'll see it from two different perspectives. (pass by)
- One of the smaller market squares of Ghent with plenty of historical buildings to admire, including the entrance gate to the old Fish Mine (pass by)
-
Het Groot VleeshuisThe Old Meat Hall is beautiful both from the outside as from the inside. We'll have a closer look at this incredible medieval construction and the products it houses nowadays.
-
GroentenmarktWe refer to the Groentenmarkt as the gastronomic heart of Ghent, mainly because it's where you can buy the typical Ghentian products. We'll try one of them as well!
-
Graslei and KorenleiThe former port of Ghent (back in the Middle Ages) is now one of the top spots of Ghent, both for locals and for tourists. Many of these buildings still remind us of their former functions, as for instance guild hall, grain storage, toll booth etc. But first and foremost, it's a magically beautiful place.
-
KorenmarktOne of the main squares of Ghent, both historically and at present, with the oldest church of the center, the St Nicholas Church. We'll have a great view of the famous three towers of Ghent from St. Michael's Bridge (thé selfie spot of Ghent).
-
StadshalProbably the most controversial building of historical Ghent, the modern City Hall on Emiel Braunplein. We'll walk underneath and experience its excellent acoustics and interesting details.
-
Het Belfort van GentThe Belfry was the symbol of power of the medieval city. You'll learn more about this typical Flemish building, its importance and function from the Middle Ages to the present.
-
St. Bavo's CathedralGhent's cathedral is impressive from the outside, but even more from the inside. We'll have a look inside at its many treasures. Including, of course, the most important piece of art of Ghent (and one of the most important in the world), the Ghent Altarpiece by the Van Eyck brothers. You'll learn more about its history (the most stolen piece of art in history, including by Hitler!) and the artistic details, which make it an absolute masterpiece.
-
Geeraard de Duivelsteen (The Castle of Gerald the Devil)The second medieval castle of Ghent and too often overlooked by visitors. The area was recently given a makeover and it has become the newest picturesque spot to hang out for locals.
-
Ghent Town Hall (Stadhuis)The City Hall of Ghent is an interesting building, to say the least. You'll immediately see why. Most of the buildings in the area used to be the city palaces and first stone houses of the powerful families of Ghent.
