*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

listen to contemporary jazz at Bijloke Gent Music Centre. No matter your preference, you will

certainly find a performance that fits your own personal taste. Go to the visitgent website to discover
