I’m on a 10 day trip around Belgium and just arrived in Ghent from Bruges. Now I totally loved Bruges, to the extent that I didn’t want to leave so soon! But, let me tell you, when I arrived in Ghent, I felt right at home! The gothic architecture, the student vibes, the amazing food culture….with Ghent you just can’t go wrong. There are so many things to do in Ghent that you could spend three days or more and not get bored!

Many people who travel to Belgium see Bruges and Brussels, but miss the best city — Ghent. What a pity!
The good news is that even if you don’t have a few days to spare, Ghent is also worth doing as a day trip from Brussels. It’s just half an hour away by train, and the old historic part of Ghent can be seen in just 2–3 hours on foot. So, what are you waiting for, get yourself over to this European haven!
