‘Water’ might not be the first word that comes into mind when visitors think about Ghent, but the city is full of waterways. If you visit the city by boat, the possibilities to moor are numerous. Ghent boasts no fewer than five marinas and is easily accessible via the Lys, the Scheldt, the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal and the Ghent-Ostend Canal with a private boat.
