Frequently Asked Questions

At the Portus Ganda basin, where the Lys and the Scheldt meet, about a ten-minute walk from the historic centre. Other vessels use the port basin quays a little further north.
Yes, and that is the way to do it. No coach, no complicated plan: the Flemish city reveals itself on foot, with water almost always in view.
Gravensteen castle, the Graslei and Korenlei quays, then Saint Bavo's Cathedral for the Mystic Lamb. A one-hour canal cruise rounds out the day nicely if time allows.
The fortress of the Counts of Flanders, planted in the middle of town complete with its moat. Its 12th-century crenellated walls house a collection of weapons and instruments of justice, and the wall walk gives a plunging view over the rooftops.
It is the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb polyptych, painted by the Van Eyck brothers in 1432 and kept in Saint Bavo's Cathedral. Stolen, dismembered, hidden and restored over the centuries, it is one of the continent's major artistic treasures.
From Saint Michael's Bridge, which lines up the city's three towers: Saint Nicholas, the belfry and the cathedral. The UNESCO-listed belfry itself rises 91 metres and carries a gilded dragon as a weathervane.
Two facing quays along the Lys where former guild houses reflect in the water. Grain merchants and corn measurers had their headquarters here; today students and travellers share the steps at the water's edge.
The euro, and Dutch: Ghent is in Flanders. English is spoken fluently in this student city; French is understood but not automatic.
Waterzooi, the creamy stew born here, and cuberdons, the purple raspberry-scented cones sold from market stalls. The Patershol quarter behind the castle holds the best tables.
Yes. Gravensteen castle and its collection make a strong impression, the canal cruise rests tired legs, and the graffiti alley near the Patershol changes its face every week.
