Ghent, an eclectic mix of young and old
Nowhere in the world can you so seamlessly move from the 14th to the 21st century and back. In Ghent, the city of art, you can immerse yourself in history in Gravensteen Castle, churches, fantastic museums and antiques shops or stay firmly in the present at one of the culinary hotspots, car-free shopping streets or at a bar on the Graslei. The people of Ghent certainly know how to party, as shown by the famous Gentse Feesten (Ghent Festival).
