Ghent Travel and Tourism Guide

Ghent is the capital and biggest city of the East Flanders province in Belgium.
Every year a ten day long street festival is held called the Ghent Fests (Gentse Feesten in Dutch). In 2007 it saw 1.5 million people flock to its streets. Also, every five years, a huge botanical exhibition (Gentse Floraliën) takes place in Ghent, attracting numerous visitors to the city.
For a medium size city, Ghent has a booming night life. There's a lot to be done at night, whether you like to go to the movies, enjoy a play, attend a concert, go to a club or just have a night out with friends at a fancy jazz bar.
