Gent Vacation Guide
The city is situated where the rivers Leie and Schelde join. Due to massive trade with textile and wool in the 16th century the city became one of the most wealthy cities in Europe and most important city - only surpassed by Paris. In this period the city also became one of the most picturesque cities in Vlaanderen due to a vast network of brick roads and houses build with wonderful corbie gables.
Cathedrals, 9th century castle, monarchy. Gorgeous squares with statues and 16th century homes dominate the architect of this very pedestrian friendly city.

This resulted in agreements with the other Vlaanderen cities against the foreign powers
Today, Gent is home to Flanders' largest university.
