Our hotel was just across the road from this lovely building, night time lighting shows the architecture off to its best.

We did not manage to fit Ghent into our Belgian tour last year, and so decided to go back this September! Ghent is a lovely city. It is quite small but has the charm and history of Bruges combined with the atmosphere of Antwerp. Take a boat trip and along the way do some canalside cafe and bar spotting for... More
