Free Walking Tour of Ghent
Embark on this free tour of Ghent and be mesmerized by the outstanding beauty of the canals, monuments and squares. Every house hides its own story and there are myths and legends behind every façade.
The tour will begin near the Cathedral in Ghent. You’ll discover more about the city's turbulent history, its urban legends, and how the young student population is bringing life to the city.
During the tour, you’ll visit symbolic locations around Ghent, such as Saint Nicholas' Church, Saint Michael's Bridge, the Belfry and Gravensteen Castle. You'll also find out where the locals like to go for a drink and have a good meal.
Ghent has a preserved medieval centre, and several of the Gothic buildings are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. An unmissable visit when travelling to Belgium!
The tour will end between 2 and 2 hours and 15 minutes later in a central area of the city.
Please note that the order of the itinerary may vary.
