In Ghent, visit Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, home of the legendary Ghent Altarpiece (exterior visit). Stroll along the Graslei and Korenlei, stunning canals lined with historic guild houses.

Admire the Belfry of Ghent, a UNESCO-listed medieval tower, and St. Nicholas’ Church, an iconic gothic landmark overlooking the old town. Stop at Vrijdagmarkt Square, a bustling historic market square perfect for photos. Your guide will also recommend the best spots for Belgian waffles, chocolates, and local specialties.
