Destination

Ghent

Ghent was once among the largest and most powerful cities in medieval Europe, and it still feels confident. The guild houses of the Graslei and Korenlei line its waterfront, while the towers of St Bavo's, the Belfry and the Gravensteen castle trace its skyline.

The city's artistic heritage is extraordinary, home to the Van Eyck brothers' Ghent Altarpiece, one of the great treasures of European art. Yet Ghent is no open-air museum: a large student population, inventive restaurants and lively cultural life keep it young and spirited.

Medieval and modern meet here naturally, giving Ghent a strong and very personal identity.
