The 6 Best Traveler Resources in Ghent, Flanders

September 26, 2021 Harland Bartelt

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.

Tourist Information Center

The Visit Gent inquiry desk provides all tourist information. It is a glass construction that looks out onto the old gateway at Sint-Veerleplein. The glass fits in well with the historical surroundings and creates an inviting atmosphere. The showpiece of this concept is the centrally located multimedia data table, which you can use to request information about Ghent and – although to a lesser extent – about other art cities and East Flanders through innovative touch technology. The information is presented in a very accessible manner, also for persons with physical or visual impairments.

The centre is very central. The layout is good and there are lots of self service leaflets in multiple languages. Thre is a visual display of major attractions. The staff are very helpful.
