1. Graslei

(27 reviews)

Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium

On warm days this is the place to be. You can go and sit at one of the little tables outside the bars or you can do as most students in Ghent do during or after the exams and that is bring your own booze and just..

2. Korenmarkt

(11 reviews)

Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium

Gezellige cafeetjes en restaurantjes. Maar ga zeker niet binnen bij Malatesta! De chef weigert Nederlands te spreken en is onbeschoft. Er staat brasserie op de gevel, maar je bent verplicht eten te bestellen. Als je..

3. Sint Baafs Plein

4. City Hall

(3 reviews)

Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium

Really nice building that should not be missed if you're in Ghent. The entrance hall should be open the rest of the building might be a bit trickier to visit. Still the outside is interesting enough.

5. Patershol

(5 reviews)

Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium

Het Patershol is very cosy! The streets are very small, almost no cars driving there, little houses and a lot of good and cosy restaurants. If you're visiting Ghent, you at least have to walk through the Patershol!

1. Lenny's Tip on Gent

Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen Region, Belgium

I live in Ghent since november 2006 and I still feel like a tourist here. I actually quiet like it; I discover new places each day. The diner I discovered 2 weeks ago, is a little but popular diner. The dishes aren't expensive but good and tasty; many students go there. And for all smokers; the don't serve fries there so you can still smoke inside the diner! :) The diner is called 'Bleuzette' and you can find it at 'Sint-Kwintensberg' in the city centre of Ghent.
