Ghent melds the fairy tale-like beauty of Bruges with its stunning Flemish architecture, while at the same time supporting a vibrant cafe and bar scene.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Ghent: Pairi Daiza (in Brugelette), Antwerp (Central Station, Grote Markt van Antwerpen, & more), Menin Gate Memorial (in Ieper (Ypres)) and René Magritte Museum (in Jette).
