Hello Gentlemen,
It's Asian Nicole. Ghent is a port city in northwest Belgium, at the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers. During the Middle Ages it was a prominent city-state. Today it’s a university town and cultural hub. Its pedestrianized center is known for medieval architecture such as 12th-century Gravensteen castle and the Graslei, a row of guildhalls beside the Leie river harbor.
When I was in Brussels, I took a day tour to visit Ghent. I was so glad that I did. Ghent is a must see little city. Cars cannot enter the main center, it’s a walking city. I was surprised to see how well preserved the original buildings are in Ghent. A walk through the river takes you to the castle and you can actually stop by cafes or ice creams parlours on the way to enjoy even more the experience. Very worth a visit if you are going from Brussels to Ghent.
