Winter

Who says winter is a dark period? In Ghent, the streets become extra colourful in the coldest months, thanks to the atmospheric winter events and locations. Slurping a hot drink in a winter bar or taking advantage of the short days and enjoying a pleasant walk along Ghent's night lights: cosy enough for you?
