Things to do in Ghent

Ghent (or Gent, as it's known in Flemish) was once Europe's largest medieval city outside of Paris. Today it's a beautiful and lively university town, intersected by peaceful canals and a well-preserved medieval centre. Take a private Ghent tour and experience this beautiful city in Flanders with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. Ghent is pleasantly free of the tourist crowds that converge on nearby Bruges. You may want to start your day with a coffee and wander through the city's historical centre, while your guide explains the history behind such monumental buildings as Saint Baafs Cathedral and the 12th century Gravensteen Castle. Find a seat at a local pub (your guide will know the best ones) to try a glass of Belgian Beer and a tasty meal of local Flemish cuisine. You may want to visit one of Ghent's renowned museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art (SMAK) or Design Museum. Your guide will happily accommodate your unique interests on your private Ghent tour.
