Hotels and accommodation in Ghent
Ghent is The flower city of Belgium, and, like Bruges, a one time harbour. The city is cut through by many rivers and canals so that it is a city made up of a number of small islands all connected by a network of around 200 bridges. It is often missed off the tourist list but is a Gothic wonder and another place you won't want to miss. It is a university town so there is a fairly large population of young people and students and, as a consequence, Ghent has become an important cultural centre. There is much of historical interest to see and a beautiful view of much of this can be seen from St. Michael's Bridge. In one direction is the Engilade des Monuments, consisting of St. Nicholas Church, Cloth Hall and adjoining Belfry, and the famous St. Bavo's Cathedral. In the other direction are several Romanesque houses and the Castle of the Counts, (the Gravensteen). A beautiful area that is a must is Graslei Street and Koornlei Street which lie along the banks of the old harbour right in the city centre. Beautiful 12th and 13th century houses line each street, each one a legacy of the wealth and power of medieval Flemish trade and the importance of Ghent in this. . Other places to see are the Hotel de Ville, the Abbey de la Byloke, the Chateau of Gerard the Devil, ruins of St. Bavo Abbey. Also, every five years Ghent is the host for the flower shows called Floralies, which attracts visitors from all over the world.
