Description
The bubbly town of Ghent can be quite overwhelming with its rich history, vibrant student culture and many activities. Allow our guide to help you get a quick feel for this place!
You will travel in time to learn how this town evolved. From a monastery in a swamp, to a vibrant city to rival Paris and London. Get to know the people that lived centuries of revolts and battles - and see how their independent spirits still shape this wonderful place. Always something fresh brewing in these streets for those that are brave enough to enjoy it.
You'll see why Ghent is called the Medieval Manhattan - gawking at the ambitious towers. Not to mention the amazing medieval castle right in the city center.
The tour starts at the Belfry tower, and ends near the town hall. We make almost a full circle: that way, you can easily retrace your steps and revisit hotspots and activities that sparked your interest.
