Travel to Ghent

More eclectic than its neighbours Antwerp and Bruges, Ghent dares to mix up the genres and blur a few boundaries. Roman, medieval 19th century industrial and uber high-tech contemporary design blend in a unique and harmonious way. The birthplace of Charles I & IV of Spain who was to rule over much of Europe, Ghent is the cultural capital of Flanders and the second largest port in Belgium.
