The Flemish city of Ghent is an excellent place to spend your vacation in an apartment. The magnificent city offers medieval and early modern beauty and the surrounding area shows beautiful nature and flower fields for walking or cycling. The North Sea is almost around the corner for a day trip.
Ghent is located in the Flemish part of Belgium as the capital of the province of East Flanders. It is easy to reach by train or car (E 40, E 17). The city center is mostly a pedestrian zone. Neighboring locations are Antwerp and Bruges. You can conveniently stop by Brussels or the North Sea when you drive back to your apartment in Ghent. Depending on the season, you see marvelous flowers all around the place.
Ghent has Celtic and Roman origins. The city became wealthy in the Middle Ages, especially by trading cloth, grain and flax. The wealthy citizens collaborated and often donated magnificent works of art. The wealth and size of the Middle Ages are the reason for the great and marvelous churches of Ghent. Emperor Karl V was born in Ghent. After the economic decline, Ghent grew in size a second time when it became the center of Belgium's textile industrialization. Ghent and its medieval buildings survived World War II - it was almost a miracle.
Enjoy the city attraction at a time. You can stroll through the pretty streets of your accommodation (there is a "poetry route" in Ghent) or explore the city on a bike. You can visit one of the churches. The Saint Bavo Cathedral has a famous remarkable altar. The 'Scheldegotic' Saint-Niklas Church is towering over the grain market. A unique feature and part of the UNESCO cultural heritage Flemish Beginenh
