5.0 based on 134 reviews
I am a professional guide in Ghent and Bruges. Born in Russia, I came to Ghent in 1999. After years of living, studying, and working in Flanders, I can tell you a lot, if not everything, about Flemish history and architecture, local legends and traditions, festivities and everyday life. I can show you Ghent and Bruges as a local, but I am more than that. Having an intercultural background, I stay mindful about all things special and typical for Flanders, take clear notice of them, appreciate them, and show them to you as someone who does not take them for granted. If you wish not only to see the most important tourist sites Ghent and Bruges have to offer, but also to understand the inner logic of these cities and enjoy their unique atmosphere to the fullest, then my guided tours are for you. I fine-tune my stories depending on your knowledge, interests, and preferences, all while making you feel right at home. Leave all the work to me, and I promise that you will enjoy my guided tour.

6. Belfry and Cloth Hall (Belfort en Lakenhalle)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,275 reviews
This municipal tower was a symbol of the city's autonomy, begun in 1313 and completed in 1380.
Reviewed By noahzieglerhazen - Birmingham, United Kingdom
The belfry was a Medieval masterpiece. It was interesting to climb the spiral staircase up to the top lookout where the bells rang. We stayed to watch the clock work ring the various bells every 15 minutes. Definitely recommend staying st the top until you see the show.
7. Gravensteen

The only surviving "castle of the count."
Reviewed By Spud479 - London, United Kingdom
We visited on a red hot day and the castle was cool in more ways than one way lol For 12 Euros we collected the audio tour and chose the English tour, a Belgian comedian called Wouter Deprez gave a wonderfully funny version of this horrible history, he got the tone just right and We found ourselves laughing out loud on several occasions ???????? This is great value for money and a must see when in Ghent
8. St. Bavo's Cathedral (Sint-Baafskathedraal)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,171 reviews
Reviewed By john_tabac - Southampton, United Kingdom
St Bavo’s Cathedral was a 12th century Romanesque church which dedicated to St John the Baptist. During the 15th and 16th centuries, was converted into the imposing Gothic St Bavo’s Cathedral. It has a rich history and it is also filled with art treasures. From the baroque high altar in white, black and red flamed marble, the Rococo pulpit in oak, gilded wood and marble, a masterpiece by Rubens, the Calvary Triptych by Justus van Gent, the Gothic sanctuary lamp, the opulent tombs of the Bishops of Ghent – and the world-famous Mystic Lamb. St Bavo’s Cathedral is still used for worship and although it has a sign that cameras are not allowed inside, everybody take pictures and security staff didn't say anything. Only in Mystic Lamb they don't allow pictures.

Just a short stroll from central St.Michaels Bridge along each side of the quay,the range of picturesque and architectural styles are most pleasing to the eye;take along with you a descriptive guidebook,( available from the Tourist Office),and you will find interesting details of the purpose and history of the various buildings (alternatively,take the half hour informative boat trip there- currently a modest €7!)
