Gravensteen

Passing by

See a medieval castle from the outside. Guided tours can be booked at the castle itself.
Graslei and Korenlei

Passing by

Graslei and Korenlei keys are the beating heart of Ghent. Today a place with many cafes and restaurants, in the past the main trading place.
Het Belfort van Gent

Passing by

Get to know the 3 medieval towers of Ghent. The Belfry is the one in the middle. This can be visited before or after the tour and highly recommended, esp. if you like to see the city from the top of its tower.

We meet all travellers at the Jacob Van Artevelde statue, which is situated in the middle of the square. It is walking distance (10 mins) from Korenmarkt. You can reach Korenmarkt with tram 1 direction Wondelgem or Evergem and you can take it straight at the Sint Pieters Station.
