🇧🇪Visit This City of Ghent in Belgium🇧🇪

#getgoing2025 Just some amazing information about Ghent that I looked up✨✨ Ghent, a vibrant city in Belgium, is renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage. Founded over 1,000 years ago, it boasts stunning medieval architecture, including the iconic Gravensteen Castle, a 12th-century fortress. The city is also home to the famous Altarpiece of the Mystic Lamb, painted by the Van Eyck brothers, which is housed in St. Bavo’s Cathedral. Ghent is unique for its blend of old and new, with a lively student population from the University of Ghent contributing to its dynamic atmosphere. The city’s canals, reminiscent of Venice, offer picturesque walks and boat tours. Additionally, Ghent is known for its culinary delights, particularly the local specialty, Waterzooi, a delicious stew. Every summer, the city hosts the Gentse Feesten, a massive cultural festival celebrating music, theater, and arts, attracting visitors from around the globe. With its charm and vibrancy, Ghent is a hidden gem in Belgium. I am so glad I got to visit this stunning city in Belgium, be sure to set a day to visit this city✨💕 #xmastrip #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #europe #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #belgium #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip #travel #naturalwonders #couplestrip #thingstodo

I visited, of course, Brussels and Bruges in Belgium. But I wanted to see a less touristy city, so I spent a weekend in Ghent. This city is small but so cute. The architecture is Flemish, and it's like Amsterdam. I visited the things to see like the St. Nicholas Church, or the belfry. I also took the opportunity to admire the street art because Ghent is very famous for it. There are even bike tours that are offered. I visited the castle of the Counts, and I advise you to take the audio guide because the comments are very original. Otherwise, Ghent is also the most vegan city in Europe, so if you are vegan, you will find what you are looking for. #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #couplestrip #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #instagramworthydestinations #romance
