Compared to other European cities, Ghent still feels fairly small and is not crowded by tourists and sightseers, despite being a perfect place to take a break. Over the centuries, the ancient city of Ghent has built up a series of attractions, from cozy medieval quarters to contemporary architectural masterpieces. The bus company will be pleased to show you the ideal mix of industry and medieval architecture in Ghent.
The next move is to pick your lodging in Ghent
Belgium. Ghent is a fairly small town, and
Brussels Grand Place is just 40 minutes away, so tourists can go on a day trip from the capital to Ghent and nearby Bruges. However, this medieval city of Flanders has plenty to sell to the intrepid tourist who wants more than a day trip to Ghent. It is one of the best places to live in Belgium, as you can easily reach other towns by hire bus for day trips.
