Ghent is a city where families feel at home, because there are so many places and activities that welcome children with open arms. Or rather, where children are a priority! You can find inspiration as to where you can take your children to eat or sleep without having to worry, where they are entertained while you do something else, or where you can do fun things together. Some examples: a scavenger hunt, a visit to the biggest outdoor skatepark of our country, some sports or art, everything is possible.
