Welcome to GIFTSHOP, the place where young people, visitors and locals meet to exchange tips, ideas and experiences. Located in Graffiti Street, GIFTSHOP is more than what its name initially suggests. It’s not just another shop, bar or studio, but rather a meeting point for visitors, locals and students.

Tips from locals: experience the city with tips from Ghentians

At GIFTSHOP, it’s all about creating meaningful experiences. Discover the graphic studio where young artists exhibit their first works, enjoy a drink and an “ironed mastel” (pastry) at the bar and be inspired by interesting conversations with fellow visitors and locals. Consider it a living USE IT information point, by and for young travellers! 

Use the locals’ tips to guide you when discovering Ghent as a guest, because who knows the city better than the locals?  

A place for everyone: accessible and inspiring

Whether you are a tourist exploring the city, a young artist looking for their place or a local looking to discover a new side of Ghent, you’re always welcome here.  

Come visit us in Graffiti street and be part of this vibrant world full of inspiration, creativity and community spirit!
