Ghent is much more than its historical city centre. The city has a genuine “Arts district” with the Booktower at the centre. If you walk from the De Krook library to the arts district, you will pass several museums, including STAM, S.M.A.K. and MSK. St Peter’s Abbey with its exhibitions is also part of this intriguing district, which enjoys the atmosphere of student life.
