A small gem of history, Ghent is more than just that, it is a very friendly town, abundant with young people and possibilities to enjoy Belgian (and international) cuisine.
Coloured light filters through high, elaborate stained glass windows, and falls on altars, statues, paintings by Rubens and Bosch, and those who pray. In one corner of the cathedral you can find the famous painting, The Mystic Lamb, by Jan and Hubert van Eyck, which is back in Ghent after having been taken to diverse corners of Europe during the last centuries. Leaving the main square of Ghent behind, you can walk in any direction without ever getting lost. You can walk into quiet, narrow alleys, come across small hofjes or courts, or find a unique shop. After a while, you will inevitably end up at one of the canals of the city, leading some to call it Venice of the North - even though there are more places in northern Europe to claim this title.
