Gent
"Who knows the city which through heroes' blood
and civil rightness gained fame?
Who provided for the Arteveldes
Gave birth to many Charles’s
The grand city is known to us,
It's Flanders' capital, Ghent."
(Karel Lodewijk Ledeganck, Gent, 1856)
Welcome to Ghent, the most quirky city in Flanders!
Go and explore the centuries-old streets and battle over the Gravensteen, wander the Patershol, and behold the famous three towers from St. Michael's bridge.
To save yourself from thirst and not drink from the Leie river, we recommend a refreshing Gentse Gruut.
Will you manage to honourably conquer the city, or will the opposition prove too large?
Whichever happens, remember the Ghentian slogan: "Nie neute en nie pleuje!" (Do not whinge, and do not fold!)

Will you manage to honourably conquer the city, or will the opposition prove too large?
Whichever happens, remember the Ghentian slogan: "Nie neute en nie pleuje!" (Do not whinge, and do not fold!)
