4 days in Ghent Itinerary

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.

Explore Ghent's surroundings by going to Menin Gate Memorial (in Ieper (Ypres)), René Magritte Museum (in Jette) and Antwerp (Antwerpen-Centraal, Grote Markt, &more). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Gravensteen, get to know the resident critters at Pairi Daiza, enjoy breathtaking views from Belfry and Cloth Hall (Belfort en Lakenhalle), and don't miss a visit to Ghent City Center.
