A ray of sunshine and the temperature going up one degree. That's all a Ghentian needs to run off to the nearest outdoor café. Ghent boasts plenty of them: along the water, in small alleys, at squares and even on rooftops. We have selected 12 outdoor cafés where you can enjoy the sun and a unique view of Ghent.

Discover these sunny hotspots and have a drink in the historical city centre or a gastronomic dinner along the water. And take your time, as sticking around is a typical Ghentian habit!
