Best Ghent Tours from Roma

Ghent is a vibrant blend of medieval charm and contemporary energy. Explore the towering Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, home to the world-renowned Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, or wander the cobbled lanes around the imposing Gravensteen - a 12th-century castle reflecting the city’s storied past. Unlike Bruges, Ghent remains refreshingly authentic, with locals biking along the scenic Lys River and gathering in cozy cafes near the Vrijdagmarkt. The city pulses with creativity, especially during the annual Gent Festival, a ten-day celebration of music, theater, and public art that transforms squares into open-air stages. Whether discovering street art in hidden courtyards or cruising past historic guildhouses on a canal boat tour, Ghent offers a rich, multifaceted experience where history and modern life flow seamlessly together.
