Tour description

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

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