Ghent, which was the 16th century's most powerful city in north-western Europe next to Paris, is now a lively core of a large area (population 237,000) with a historical center that breathes history and charm.
Cosy corners alternate with pleasant and busy shopping streets. Ghent distinguishes itself from other Flemish cities by its medley of industry and commerce, and an agreeable inner city that has preserved much of its old mediaeval spots.
Ghent is situated at the confluence of the rivers Leie and Scheldt and forms the heart of Europe, being only 30 minutes away from Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, the coast, France and the Netherlands. A modern seaport provides considerable industrial activity. Situated at the junction of the traffic arteries E17 (Lisbon-Stockholm) and E40 (London-Istanbul), the city is as easy to reach by car as by train.
Ghent by night is certainly worth a visit! Many historical buildings and monuments are lit up every night from dusk till midnight.
