The Tour of Flanders and Ghent are inextricably entwined. Did you know, for instance, that until 1976, Belgium’s best-known race started in Ghent every year? This historical city continues to be the ideal setting to cheer on the racers and experience the atmosphere of road cycling. Or perhaps you can cycle up the steep slopes and along the challenging cobbled roads yourself?
