A day in Ghent
Discover the Enchanting Ghent: City of Culture and History
The city of Ghent is the perfect base for fashion, art, and nightlife. Ghent is located just a short half-hour drive from Oostkamp. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the famous Korenlei and Graslei. The towers of the Saint Bavo's Cathedral, the belfry, and the Saint Nicholas' Church proudly rise above the city center of Ghent. In the Saint Bavo's Cathedral, you can admire the world-famous triptych, "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb", by the Flemish primitive artist Jan van Eyck.
For art lovers, a visit to the S.M.A.K., the museum of contemporary art, is definitely a must.
In addition to being a cultural city, gastronomy is also a major asset of Ghent. The Patershol with its cozy alleys is the culinary center par excellence.
During the world-famous Ghent Festivities (Gentse Feesten), celebrations with drinks and food take place for ten days in a completely transformed city center. This ten-day event attracts tens of thousands of visitors annually.
