What You Will Do
This tour combines a walking tour with a nice, light meal at the end. We start with a brief introduction at Vrijdagmarkt and then go on an explorer journey for 1.5 to 2 hours (including the meal).
During this time you will find out where the name Ghent comes from and visit the very origins of our city, which is almost 1400 years old.
Explore sites such as our yacht harbour (Portus Ganda), the tree medieval towers (Saint Bavo Cathedral, the Ghent Belfry and Saint Nicholas Church) and the historical harbour with Graslei and Korenlei quays.
Ghent is however so much more then this. It is the home of 3 beguinages, some exquisite museums, parks, host of the 1913 World Expo and capital of street art (and we do not just mean the popular Graffiti Street).
Furthermore, it is a lively city where visitors, residents and students meet. We look forward to welcoming you!

Vrijdagmarkt
We start this walking tour with lunch in Ghent at the Artevelde statue at Friday Market. This is a historical square with interesting houses and some cool facts. After a brief introduction and information about what to expect, we explore the square and the surrounding streets. Please note that this itinerary is an example only. If people have a good fitness level (not mandatory though!!) we can cover more ground and therefore also different areas. Also, although it says that we do not make any stops, we do make stops at all landmarks so you can hear the stories told by your guide and to take pictures. We just cannot say how long we will be staying somewhere as that depends on the group. Just so you know :) When you book, please let us know your fitness level.
