- Belgium's port city of Ghent, self-described as the city of trust and love, sits at the confluence of the Scheldt and Lys rivers.
- The university town is a cultural hub that’s part artistic quarter and part historic center.
- The pedestrianized city center is a showcase of medieval architecture, including the fairy-tale-like 12th-century Gravensteen castle.
- For visitors who want to get to the heart of the city’s personality, take the Sorry, Not Sorry walking tour of Ghent’s graffiti.
