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

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!)

The architecture is so beautiful along this waterway, and there are also restaurants with great water views. You can walk on either side as well as take a boat cruise.
4. STAM Ghent City Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 534 reviews
STAM is the Ghent city museum. It presents the story of the city of Ghent. A permanent circuit leads visitors along a chronological trail of objects and multimedia which trace the development and growth of Ghent. Temporary exhibitions explore the concept of 'urbanity' from different angles. STAM's real showpiece, its raison d'être, is the city itself. A visit to the city museum is not complete without a visit to Ghent. STAM is ten years old this year... time for a make-over for the permanent exhibition. From December 7th you will mingle with parchment abbots, enterprising women, amorous rebels and self-seeking benefactors from the Middle Ages to the present day as you make your way through the new-look 'Story of Ghent’. You will see and feel the city grow and change shape. You will discover some of the city’s secrets and of course there will also be a fresh version of our (still gigantic) aerial photograph.

This is a well thought out and wide ranging museum. It is housed in a combination of modern display spaces and a medieval abbey, nicely adapted to lead the visitor through the history of the city with a wealth of interesting displays. There's a medieval hall still with its original Gothic decoration and a very good audio guide (though the numbers by the exhibits were sometimes difficult to see from a wheelchair). Accessibility is good in the museum, though the street access outside could be difficult for anyone with a large chair. The shop is a little limited and disappointing, and the detailed guidebook is only available in French or Dutch. There is a cafe but it only sells (delicious) meals rather than snacks at lunchtime and the tables were rather grubby.

Really nice area to go to get some nature just outside the city. In the spring many birds nest here and they have a nice bird hide to be able to watch them with some information on the species. Great place for a walk!

Located in Maldegem, you will discover the largest Flemish collection of steam-powered and diesel-powered trains. Experience the nostalgia of the past, the ideal trip for the whole family! Steam locomotives and diesel locomotives on two different track widths, diesel motor cars, first-class, second-class and third-class class vehicles and an experience aboard a carriage from the real Orient Express.

If you want to find some peace and enjoy nature this is the place to be. Free entrance and alot of paths to walk on. Some are hardened lanes but you can also choose for pure nature...make sure you wear the right shoes then because can be a bit muddy. Now is the time to see nature change and all the leafs have beautiful colours. Also alot of mushrooms to see. Just a perfect place to come to yourself..

Ronse lies in the 'Vlaamse Ardennen', one of Flandres' most beautiful countryside with lots of opportunities to walk, to bike - it's also the region of the 'Ronde Van Vlaanderen', one of Belgium's classical bike races. Enjoy the landscape, and certainly of this 'music forrest' or muziekbos.
