Ghent is a lovely medieval city less than 60km from Brussels. During the Middle Ages, it was one of the richest and most powerful cities in Europe, and the architecture from this time reflects this.

Ghent is a beautiful city to look at, but be sure to try the food and drink while you are there – your stomach will thank you for it.
