Ghent is a dreamy medieval city where every corner feels like a painting 🎨. Begin at Gravensteen Castle, a fortress straight from the Middle Ages 🏰. Walk along the stunning Graslei and Korenlei riverbanks 🌊, and marvel at the gothic St. Bavo’s Cathedral, home to the legendary Ghent Altarpiece 🙏.

As the sun sets, the city glows beautifully – Ghent’s night illumination is among Europe’s best 🌃💡. Explore the Vrijdagmarkt Square, browse through local boutiques 🛍️, and hop on a canal boat tour 🚤 for a romantic view of the bridges and towers.
