Ghent City Breaks Guide

 
Once a well­kept secret but now blossoming as a fashionable short break destination, Ghent is a vibrant university city with over 300 restaurants and a nightlife to match. At its heart is the well­preserved gothic centre, where you can step back in time to a period when Ghent was a wealthy medieval city, home to proud merchants and powerful counts and kings.

Atmospheric and beautifully illuminated at night, the ´Three towers of Ghent´ and the crusaders´ ´Castle of the Counts´ dominate the skyline ­ a weekly market still takes place there in the old Market Square. Ghent is a city well pleased with itself, past and present ­ and well worth your time to visit
