Tour description

Delve into the fascinating past of Ghent, the second most important city in Europe after Paris in the Middle Ages. We'll start at the majestic St. Bavo's Cathedral , where we'll tell you the story behind "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb", the iconic masterpiece by the Van Eyck brothers that symbolizes the artistic wealth of the city. From there, we'll wander through the cobbled streets and Gothic buildings of Ghent, exploring how the reign of Charles V , born here, profoundly shaped the destiny of the city, bringing both wealth and challenges.

On this tour, we'll visit iconic landmarks such as the Gravensteen and end at the historic Vrijdagmarkt , a square that has been the centre of public life for centuries. Here, you'll discover the stories of merchants, nobles and historical events that shaped the city. Book now and immerse yourself in the medieval splendour and legacy of Ghent!
