From Ghent train station is it near to walk to these spots ?

@worldwildhearts

You can walk to the center from Gent-St Pieters train station, it takes about 30 mins though. It’s not very close but you can also take a tram or bus if you don’t feel like walking! We usually walk as it’s a nice city to get around on foot

Wow, you just sold us on Ghent. Were looking at Brussels or Ghent for a day, and after viewing you video the decision of Ghent was easily made. Thanks.

Thank you both very much for this and all of your videos. I am traveling to Belgium in April this year, and I have been watching a lot of your videos to get some great ideas on what to do while I am there. Your videos are always so helpful. They are detailed, and I like how you actually show on the video what to do, and not just say it. The visual aspect is so helpful to me. I greatly appreciate the work that you all do in putting these videos together, along with the descriptions on this page and the links for the tours, etc. It is just awesome of you both to do what you do!!! I want to be a world traveler, and plan on doing much more traveling starting this April. That is my goal! Thank you again!!!

The Ghent Altarpiece is easily the most celebrated painting in Belgium, and one of the most celebrated in Europe. Oil painting was invented by the van Eck workshop and its leader Jan van Eck.

Nashville, Tennessee where I live by contrast barely has a culture at all unless you like country and western music and the temperature here in 90 degrees today and has been like that for months.

The Bellfry isn't a church. It's a tower build by the guilds and city counsil to house and represent the rights given to the city. City guards stood watch above the tower to sound the alarm for fires and inviding armies.

Hi! I think we had it in Frituur Tartaar (center of Ghent). Though the owner made is especially for us as we asked him! It wasn’t on his menu. In most frituur’s you’ll find it though. It was invented in “De Gouden Saté” and named after the former owner Julien. They changed owners now but they’re still THE place to go for a julientje (it’s located in the party street of Ghent - overpoort)
