Itinerar

  1. St Michael's Bridge

    15 min

    We start here with an introduction to the history of Ghent and the role the city played as a trading hub in medieval times. We also introduce you to the 3 towers of the Ghent skyline, which are best visible from this spot.

  2. Graslei and Korenlei

    10 min

    At the Graslei, the beating heart of the historical city centre, we show you which buildings were involved in the trading activities when this area functioned as the city’s port.

  3. Design Museum Gent

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Here we explain why a specific aspect of the Design Museum very much symbolises the stubborn and rebellious mindset of the Gentenaars!

  4. Het Groot Vleeshuis

    10 min

    With a view of the medieval covered Great Butchers’ Hall across the water, we tell you some darker facts about this majestic building.

  5. Gravensteen

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Unlike most castles, the medieval Castle of the Counts is located right the middle of the city and and is very well preserved. We will tell you all about its impressive past!

  6. St. Veerleplein

    10 min

    The square in front of the castle is both known as the square of death as well as the square of life. You’ll find out why!

  7. Huis van Alijn

    10 min

    The House of Alijn was a hospital and is the only remaining ‘god house’ in Ghent. We will tell you the unfortunate story of how it became a hospital.

  8. Oprirea 8

    10 min

    This illustrious square has played a prominent role in Ghent’s history, as well as the man whose statue is located in the middle. Our guide will share its fascinating history with you!

  9. Oprirea 9

    10 min

    As a way to keep our monumental buildings from being sprayed by graffiti, the city has designated a specific area for street artists to go wild. We’ll walk you through it!

  10. Ghent Town Hall (Stadhuis)

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    To understand why our city hall looks a little bit ‘confused’, our guide will explain the most significant conflict in the history of Ghent.

  11. St. Bavo's Cathedral

    10 min

    Our cathedral has a rich history and houses many art treasures, most notably the world-famous Ghent Altarpiece by the brothers Van Eyck. We’ll share some of this history with you.

  12. Het Belfort van Gent

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The Belfry is the people’s tower and reflects the stubbornness, power and independence of the city. As the former prison, its façade also tells the story of a bizarre legend that our guide will share with you.

  13. Esglesia de Sant Nicolau

    10 min

    This gem from the early 12th century looks out over Korenmarkt and has St Nicholas, the protector of merchants and sailors, as its patron saint. The façade of this building shows us the legend of its patron saint: the perfect way to end this legendary tour!
