Gravensteen, een burcht in Gent

Among the dark spiral staircases of the thick castle walls, discover the magic of this warm and cosy celebration at the darkest time of the year. From the top of the keep you have a unique view of the beautifully lit city centre.

Take it all in while listening to the funny stories of Flemish stand-up comedian Wouter Deprez and pay a visit to the atmospheric winter bar.

An enchanting experience for young and old alike.
