Attractions in the city

April 21, 2010

With my friends we first decided to visit the attractions of the city. Belgium’s Eastern and Western Flanders areas are filled with attractions, many of which are extremely close to Ghent. Surprisingly overlooked by many tourists visiting Belgium and unjustly so, do leave a day or two to explore the attractions of Antwerp. Astoria Hotel is located in the center of the city. It is a good hotel en Gante centro with all the latest facilities. St Niklaas Church, Ghent is one of the most popular and attractive cathedrals enriched with unique style of architecture. The church was named after the famous Saint, Nicholas and established during the 14th Century. My hotels in Ghent was near the main attractions of the city. The Graslei and the Koornlei are the names of two famous streets which were once regarded as trading and merchandise center of the city. I enjoyed my stay in the budget hôtel à Gand and also enjoyed the best food there.

This city offers a wide array of Gent hotels , from this you can choose where you want to stay. Various attractions of the city are Altar of Ghent, Belfry, Bjlokemueseum Refectory, Cathedral of St. Bavon, Graslei, Gravensteen- with ascetic walls and imposing towers, is a former military fortress, Townscape, cloth hall, Korenlei, Kraanlei, Lievekaai, Mueseum of Decorative arts, Mueseum of Fine Arts, Laarne castle and many more. It took approximately six hundred years to complete St Baafskathedraal – Ghent’s most extensive and oldest Cathedral, and some parts of this gothic masterpiece stretch back to the twelfth century. Some of the main attractions of the city like Cathedral of St. Bavon, Graslei, Gravensteen were just few kms from my Hotels in Brussels . Ghent has some stunning listed buildings and you can see many of them in and around the area that runs from St Michielsbrug to St Baafskathedral. Stroll along the river leie for one of thwe most pleasant walks availbale anywhere in Belgium.

Shopping in Ghent

April 8, 2010

Im a shopaholic and i enjoyed shopping in the city. None of friends are interested in shopping so i went alone to enjoy shopping in the city. Our Hotels in Ostend was also near the main shopping street in the city. The main shopping street in Ghent is the extremely central and busy Veldstraat, which is lined with shops on both sides. Whilst the Veldstraat is completely pedestrianised, when shopping in this part of Ghent, do bear in mind that trams still run along this stretch all through the day. Shopping in Ghent is of real fun. Near the main shopping market there was a good sights in frankfurt and i heard it serves the best belgian beer with french fries. Shopping in Ghent and throughout Belgium is not always as expensive as it first seems, since many tourists will be able to claim some or all of the tax back when they fly out of the country. Do check this first with the shopkeeper before you spend your money. Hotel Chamade is located in the best location in the city. It is nearby the historic city center.
