Ghent Day Trip
Tour Details
Begin the full-day tour to Ghent by boarding a bus at Brussels Central Station at the scheduled time. Ghent is Bruges’ biggest rival for the the most fascinating destination in Belgium.
Upon arrival, follow your guide through the city center and marvel at the enormous Castle of Gerald the Devil (Geeraard de Duivelsteen), admire the world-famous painting “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb” by the Van Eyck brothers housed in the Gothic-style St Bavo’s Cathedral and check out the 91-meter belfry (Belfort) and the Town Hall.
Afterwards, head to the oldest-standing buildings in Ghent: Saint Nicholas’ Church, the sixteenth-century Masons’ Guild House, the small medieval Graslei port, the imposing Castle of the Counts of Flanders, the picturesque Patershol district and explore one of the city’s largest squares, the Friday Market Square.
Once you have a good idea of Ghent’s main landmarks, you will have approximately four hours to enjoy the city at your own pace. You can enjoy a delicious traditional Belgian lunch by any of the city’s waterways and purchase souvenirs like Belgian chocolates.
This trip will come to an end after 9.5 hours together, back in the centre of Brussels.
