Ghent is proud to have carried the title of “UNESCO Creative City of Music” since 2009, and with reason. In Ghent, music can be heard all the time, during the dazzling Ghent Festivities, at the top festival Gent Jazz or simply in a lively dance or music bar. It’s hard to make a choice from the offer of both large-scale and intimate concerts in a multitude of genres and at a lot of different locations. And in what other city can you find so many real vinyl record shops?
