*History & Culture*

Make sure to reserve at least a few days to visit and learn more about Gent’s deep history and
cultural landmarks! We recommend visiting top-rated Gravensteen attraction – a 10th century
majestic castle built in a moat offering a stunning backdrop of the city. Why not also visit the historic
city centre and admire the fascinating Gothic and Romanesque architecture? Saint Bavo’s Cathedral
and Saint Nicholas’ Church are prominent examples of this architectural style, along with an
intricately detailed interior. For art enthusiasts, the Museum voor Schone Kunsten (Museum of Fine
Arts) is a must-see, containing thousands of exhibitions and preserved pieces of art from the late
Middle Ages all the way up to the first half of the 20th century. Other notable mentions include the
Museum of Contemporary Art, Korenlei, and Kasteel van Ooidonk.

*Nature*

You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to all the natural attractions that Gent has to offer! On
the outskirts of Gent lies the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen Nature Preserve – covering 230 hectares of
marshland, wetlands, farmlands, meadows, and canals as well as many species of birds. If you want
to see more diverse plant life and biodiversity, head on over to the Ghent University Botanical
Gardens. Here you will have the chance to discover over 10,000 plant species from all around the
world! Need a break from the city? No problem – take a stroll down one of the many beautiful city
parks, with Citadel Park, Muinkpark, and Koning Albert I Park being a stone’s throw away.

*Entertainment*

There are a multitude of high calibre performing art centres, concert halls, and live music venues for
you to indulge in. Witness the grand spectacle of the Gent Symphony Orchestra at Opera Gent or
