On this Ghent day trip from Brussels, you will visit a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe with a knowledgeable English-speaking guide.

Tour Details

Begin the full-day tour to Ghent by boarding a bus at Brussels Central Station at the scheduled time. Before departing Brussels, there will be a stop at the Atonium, a monument standing over 100 meters high, representing Belgium's nine provinces.

Upon arrival, follow your guide through the city center to see the Castle of Gerald the Devil, admire the painting “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb” at St Bavo’s Cathedral, and visit the 91-meter belfry and the Town Hall.

Next, explore Saint Nicholas’ Church, the sixteenth-century Masons’ Guild House, the medieval Graslei port, the imposing Castle of the Counts of Flanders, and the Patershol district while also visiting the Friday Market Square.

Afterward, you will have approximately four hours to enjoy Ghent at your own pace, including options for a traditional Belgian lunch and purchasing souvenirs like Belgian chocolates. The trip concludes after 9.5 hours back in central Brussels.
