Oost-Vlaanderen Region Dos and Don'ts

ghent festival between 18th and 28th of july 2009

Try to visit the weekly market on Thursday, see the views, smell the smells and taste the tastes. Take a seat on a benche on this busy market situated on the largest square of the Low Countries and observe the colourfull aray of local people stolling around.

Ghent is my city of dreams. it is a student city and it haves so many parties. You can find cheap and very delicious turkish restaurant at the 'sleepstraat' it is around 4,50€ for one pizza with a salad, and believe me, you will not finish your plate! they put so much pizza on your plate, you will hardly finish it. to interact with the locals, go to brown pubs, ghent haves so many fancy bars. Beer is cheap in Belgium. (around 1,80€) gay and lesbians, they have plenty off bars for you! we have 'use it' that's the touristdesk for young alternative people. you can get free maps there. but also tips where to go. night life: go to overpoort for more commercial stuff, go to the 'vlasmarkt' for alternative bars.

Gene zever, if you'd like to visit Ghent, just say it, I'll tell you all you need to know waar ;) !

We have 3 mountainbike tracks and they all start at the local sports centre
