What travelers are saying
- cecelia j2 contributionsExcellent venue. Loved the free/included audio tour. A comical way to learn history. Highly recommended. Note for those challenged by stairs, there are many. At least two spiral stone staircases (1-way up, another way down) + other stairs. Great view from the top. We very much enjoyed our visit.

- Angelo ZCrawford, TX333 contributionsOur guide Albert took us on a walking tour of the old town. Very interesting lots to see. Definitely would visit. You can do Brugge and Ghent in a day trip from Brussels. The train is only a little over an hour from Brussels Central Station.Written May 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,140 contributionsThis beautiful bridge was built for an international fair and became a major route across the city's river. Now you can stroll across it and enjoy the canal houses. It has an historic basis.Written November 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Russell GLondon, UK124 contributionsVery glad we made the effort to come here, it's slightly outside of Ghent central are.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,140 contributionsThis is one of the biggest churches in the city and it is set in a lovely square with lots of places to eat and drink around it. In fact we sat in a cafe and had a cold drink and then went into the church to tour it. It was grand, gothic design.Written November 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China19,615 contributionsThis is the place to escape the urban bust in downtown Ghent. Patershol is a pleasant and peaceful area north of the popular cathedrals. Visitors can freely wander around cobblestoned alleys and historic houses without any crowd.Written June 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- henry16Kettering, UK438 contributionsSimply a nice place to sit and watch the world go by. On a nice day bring a picnic and sit on the wall or your chips and stew from the kiosk at the slaughterhouse.Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA16,140 contributionsI enjoyed this simple museum set in a group of old houses. The subject is everyday life years ago in Ghent and Belgium. Everyday objects, lots of nostalgia. But also descriptions that explain how the objects represent changes in society and history. I compared the objects and displays to similar situations in the US.Written December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
