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 Lamb," the iconic masterpiece by the Van Eyck brothers that symbolizes the city's artistic richness. From there, we'll walk through Ghent's cobbled streets and Gothic buildings, 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'll visit iconic landmarks like the Gravensteen and end at the historic Vrijdagmarkt , a square that has been the center of public life for centuries. Here, you'll discover the stories of merchants, nobles, and historic events that shaped the city. Book now and immerse yourself in Ghent's medieval splendor and heritage!
