Ghent (Belgium) - Wink Travel Guide
Ghent is a city in East Flanders in Belgium. Ghent is a city with rich history. At the same time, Ghent has a relatively high share of young people, and a significant seasonal student population. During the Middle Ages, Ghent was one of the richest and most powerful cities in Europe. It was once considered the second largest city north of the Alps, after Paris.
The whole of the city center is restored in this fashion, and still breathes the atmosphere of a thriving late-medieval city state. As the city council made the center free of cars, it is now a very welcoming and open area, which does not fail to impress even the people who live there.
Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.
