Ghent is a historic medieval city filled with creativity, quirkiness, and artistic flare. There’s such a wide variety of things to do in Ghent you can easily fill a day with fun activities and stunning sights.

This guide includes my full itinerary and cost breakdown for accommodations and transportation between cities. It also contains things to do and where to stay in London, Paris, Ghent, Bruges, Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Cordoba, and Madrid.

Visiting Belgium in February was cold, gray, and rainy like much of the year, but it made Bruges feel that much more magical. The old, long-standing buildings paired with the canals running through the city make this city fit for a fairy-tale setting.
