The magnificent old city of Ghent was one of the biggest cities in Western Europe at the end of the Middle Ages, renowned for its textile industry. Much of the city's medieval architecture remains intact and is remarkably well preserved. Interesting highlights are the Saint Bavo Cathedral with the Ghent Altarpiece, the belfry, the Gravensteen castle, and the splendid architecture along the old Graslei harbor. The city of Ghent also houses three beguinages, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, and numerous churches, among which the Saint-Jacobs church and the Saint-Nicolas Church are the most beautiful examples.
A perfect introduction to Netherlands and Belgium! Amsterdam (an enchanting city set on the banks of beautiful canals), Antwerp, Ghent ( port city in northwest Belgium, at the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers) and Brussels (is Belgium’s capital and home to the European Union headquarters) with the IC Train.
