The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Ghent, Flanders

August 13, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Belgium's fourth-largest - and most beautiful - city is home to a quarter of a million people and a flourishing flower export trade. An important port, Ghent's city center is a pedestrian area that is like a museum to early Flemish architecture and a testament to the city's medieval might. Impressive Gothic sites, such as dramatic St. Bavo's Cathedral and the Castle of the Counts, inspire awe. The works of Flemish masters are housed in the distinguished Museum voor Schone Kunst.

Guide in Ghent Anna Mochtchevitina

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.

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
