Ghent is a city with a small-town feel: don’t be afraid to store your handy walking map and follow your nose. It’s so much more fun to discover things for yourself. Ghent is a cultural cocktail. There is art everywhere you turn. Wander around the largest low-traffic pedestrian zone in Europe. Walk up and down the streets, experiencing the real Ghent among its nonconformist residents who keep the city alive and kicking.
Ghent's pedestrian signposts will guide you to the main sights in the historical centre and the arts quarter.
