With your local host, explore a curated route through the city shaped around you. Here's a sample of what your day could include:

3
St. Bavo's Cathedral
Admire the Gothic façade and learn about the cathedral’s layered history. Your host shares stories from outside. Entry to the Van Eyck altarpiece is optional and not part of the tour.
4
Gravensteen
See Ghent’s medieval castle from the outside, with stories of its dramatic past. Instead of going in, explore the calm canal-side streets behind it.
5
Graslei and Korenlei
Walk along this historic quay lined with ornate merchant houses, and hear how this area shaped Ghent’s trade legacy.
6
Vrijdagmarkt
Discover one of Ghent’s oldest squares, where locals gather. Your host might share stories of the city’s rebellious spirit here.
7
Begijnhofdries
Step into this serene courtyard from the Beguine tradition, a peaceful spot off the main path, ideal for a reflective moment.
8
Appelbrugparkje
End at this hidden park by the water. It’s a favorite among locals for a quiet break or scenic view before parting ways.
