About Ghent
Ghent (Gent) is one of the most beautiful and most complete medieval cities in northern Europe — a Flemish city of 260,000 inhabitants whose historic centre, concentrated on the islands and canals of the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers, preserves one of the most intact and most architecturally rich medieval urban landscapes in Belgium, largely undamaged by the wars of the 20th century. The city's central vista — the three medieval towers of Sint-Baafskathedral, Sint-Niklaaskerk and the Belfort (Belfry) visible simultaneously from the Sint-Michielsbrug bridge above the quays — is the most celebrated townscape view in Flanders and one of the finest in Europe.
Ghent's supreme cultural treasure is the Ghent Altarpiece (The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb) by Hubert and Jan van Eyck — completed in 1432 and now restored to extraordinary luminosity after the most comprehensive art restoration in Belgian history, displayed in the Bijloke chapel of Sint-Baafskathedraal. Considered the most important painting in the world by some art historians and certainly the most technically revolutionary work of the early 15th century (the first major oil painting in the Western tradition), the altarpiece's 12 panels depicting the Lamb of God in a landscape of extraordinary botanical precision represent the founding achievement of Flemish painting. Ghent is also known as one of Belgium's most politically progressive and culturally vibrant cities, with an exceptional restaurant, bar and festival scene (the Gentse Feesten, 10 days in July, is Belgium's largest street festival).
Important Transfer Information
Ghent Altarpiece (Van Eyck): The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by Hubert and Jan van Eyck (1432) — displayed in the Bijloke chapel of Sint-Baafskathedraal after its recent comprehensive restoration — is the founding masterpiece of Flemish painting and one of the most technically extraordinary paintings in existence. Its oil glazing technique, the landscape background painted with botanical precision, and the luminosity of the colour after restoration make this an overwhelming visual experience. Advance timed-entry booking is required.
Three Towers Panorama: The view from Sint-Michielsbrug over the Graslei and Korenlei quays — with the three medieval towers of Sint-Niklaaskerk, the Belfort and Sint-Baafskathedraal rising above the guild houses of the medieval grain market — is the defining image of Ghent and one of the most reproduced views in Belgium. The quays are at their most atmospheric in the early morning before the tourist crowds arrive.
Gentse Feesten: The Gentse Feesten (Ghent Festival, 10 days in mid-July) is Belgium's largest street festival — a city-wide celebration of music, theatre, street performance and revelry that fills every square and canal-side in the historic centre with free performances and hundreds of thousands of visitors. Accommodation must be booked many months in advance for festival period.
