Ghent city break by Eurostar

Ghent View breaks >>

Ghent, the capital of the East Flanders province, is a thriving university town integrating a modern way of life and a beautiful historic background. In the heart of Belgium, the city of Ghent is a wonderful medieval city boasting some top attractions. Including the St. Bavo Cathedral and the fortress of Gravensteen, depicting the city's history.

Ghent is the third largest city in Belgium and a popular alternative to the overcrowded industrial centres of Antwerp and Brussels. With over a fifth of the city's population being students, Ghent is undoubtedly a vibrant, cosmopolitan city to explore. Bars and clubs line the streets and particularly in the Patershol area of the city.

If a quiet and relaxing break is more to your tastes, explore Ghent with the peaceful atmosphere of a quaint provincial town. Discover the mixture of artistic and historic features, from museums and galleries to ancient castles. UNESCO World Heritage Sites are everywhere, including the magnificent belfry and intricately decorated Cloth Hall.

St. Bavo Cathedral

One of Belgium's most impressive religious sites, this beautiful Romanesque building houses numerous collections of famous artwork, including Jan Van Eyck's The Mystic Lamb, and is the burial site of many previous Belgian bishops.

Belfry and Cloth Hall

Towering a dizzying 91 metres above the city, featuring a collection of bells, fine architecture and a watchtower. Adjoined is the city's Cloth Hall, erected in the 15th century. Climb to the top for breath-taking panoramic views.

Castle of the Counts

One of Ghent's most popular attractions. This 12th century fortress of Gravensteen, is a former prison and courthouse, which now displays a vast collection of historic items. Including weapons, armour and instruments of torture.
