🏰 Ghent, Belgium Guide | Keep Ghent for Yourself

"Belgium left Brussels to the EU, Bruges to tourists, and Ghent to itself." 🚄 Our itinerary The schedule for this day is: Ghent in the morning, Bruges in the afternoon. The trains to the two cities are less than 30 minutes apart, so it's just right to go together! 📍 Must-see attractions (Ghent city walking map) ⛪ Saint Bavo's Cathedral Ghent's most important religious building, with a majestic appearance. The "Mystic Lamb" painting in the collection is one of the masterpieces of the Renaissance (you can buy tickets to enter and visit the painting itself). The interior of the church is quiet and sacred, and it is worth a visit. 🏰 Gravensteen Castle A medieval stone castle located next to the canal, with complete city walls, towers, and exhibition areas for displaying weapons and torture instruments. Standing on the city wall, you can overlook the entire old city of Ghent, which is very spectacular. The entrance ticket is about €12, and it is worth going in for a walk if time permits. 🌉 Old Port Graslei & Korenlei This is the most beautiful corner of the city. Medieval buildings are neatly arranged on both sides, boats are floating on the canal, and there are open-air cafes next to the street. The afternoon sun shines on the water, like a glowing painting. 🏛 Town Hall and Belfry of Ghent Ghent's Belfry is one of the world heritage sites, and next to it is the gorgeous town hall and church complex. These buildings stand side by side, forming the most representative silhouette of the entire city. 🏪Various handicraft shops The biggest impression Ghent left on me is that there are many unique shops, and the owners shape each shop in a different style. I stayed in a shop collecting stamps and banknotes for a long time😭😭😭! Friends who like history and culture can definitely visit here ✨~ 📸 Tips & Practical Information 🧭 Most of the city's attractions are concentrated in the old town, which is very suitable for walking ⏰ Recommended stay time: half a day to a day (if you have time, Ghent is very beautiful when it is lit up at night) 🎫 If you have a 10-trip pass for the Belgian National Railway, Brussels ⇄ Ghent ⇄ Bruges can all be easily combined 💬 Conclusion｜Ghent does not shout itself loudly, but always makes people want to calm down and study it as soon as they walk in. Ghent does not have the tourist bustle of Bruges, nor is it as functional as Brussels, but this rhythm between the crowd and silence is the most intriguing. If you ask me, which city in Belgium is most like the real me? I think it is the quiet, low-key, profound, and nostalgic Ghent✨ #Ghent #Belgium #GhentBelgium #BelgianAttractions #BelgianTravel #BelgianAttractions #Europe #EuropeanSecrets #EuropeanNicheDestinations
