Vlogger Tip
Ghent is Bruges without the crowds. Rent a bike and cycle the canal route — it's flat, scenic, and takes about 2 hours. Thursday is Ghent's vegetarian day, so half the city's restaurants go meat-free.

FAQ
2–3 days is ideal to explore the medieval centre, St Bavo's Cathedral (The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb), Gravensteen Castle, and the vibrant Patershol neighbourhood.
Ghent is a living city — more local, less touristy, better nightlife and food scene. Bruges is more picture-perfect. Many vloggers recommend visiting both (30 min apart by train).
Waterzooi (creamy chicken stew — Ghent's signature dish), Belgian waffles, frites with stoofvlees, local craft beer, and pralines. Try Groot Vleeshuis for local specialties.
Direct train every 30 minutes, takes 35 min, costs ~€10. Ghent-Sint-Pieters station is a short tram ride to the centre. No car needed.
Moderate by Belgian standards. Beer costs €3–5, restaurant meals €15–25. Hotels from €80/night. Much cheaper than Bruges for similar quality.
Every 3 years, Ghent transforms into an open-air light art gallery. Artists illuminate historic buildings and waterways. Next edition draws 500,000+ visitors over 4 nights.
