About Ghent
Ghent, in Flanders, is a medieval city of canals, a castle and Gothic churches, home to a large university and a busy cultural life.
Ghent grew rich on the cloth trade at the meeting of the Scheldt and Leie rivers, and its old centre still shows it. The Graslei and Korenlei quays are lined with guild houses, and the Gravensteen, a twelfth-century castle of the counts of Flanders, rises from the water. Three towers dominate the skyline: the Belfry, St Nicholas' Church and St Bavo's Cathedral.
Top-ranked sights in Ghent: St. Bavo's Cathedral (Sint-Baafskathedraal), Graslei and Korenlei, Belfry and Lakenhalle (Bell Tower and Cloth Hall).
