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.

Excellent tour around Gent historical center, including various beers in various places. Our guide Ariël was clearly a true beer enthusiast and expert, and also told nice historical details and stories about the city places that we walked by on our tour. Only bad thing was that there was so much new and interesting information about beer, that I have already forgotten half of it :-)

This tour perfectly shows the most underestimated part of Belgian culture - its cuisine. Not only beer, but the kitchen as general. Mussels, chips and chocolate (for dessert) are the first thing to taste when on Belgian soil.
