True to tradition, the Tour of Flanders takes place on the first Sunday of April. The ideal timing for a weekend break in Ghent, a very bicycle-friendly city, located not far from the finish in Oudenaarde. The Tour for amateurs, which is held on the Saturday before the race, is a must for cycling enthusiasts. Combine your visit to the Tour with a stay in Ghent and you’re guaranteed to have a fun and varied outing.
