    The funny thing about the painting of the mystic lamb is that it was almost scrubbed by the city workers who are employed to remove illegal graffiti, they were setting up to start removing it but my best friend who works for the City of Ghent saw this and she knew it was a piece that was approved by the city. So, she ran up to the guys yelling that they had to stop because it was not an illegal piece. These city workers didn't get a memo that this work was approved and it almost disappeared the day after it was finished. After some calling around they figured it out and left the painting alone. Sure was a very close call.

    It all depends on your needs! If you're a student, Het Zuid will put you close to the center, and the student party area. For something calmer, I'd go for Gentbrugge or Leideberg, which are also pretty close to one of the train stations on one side, and the beautiful Gentbrugse Meersen on the other side (biking will be the fastest to get there). If you have a car/don't mind the commute, Sint-Amandsberg or Wondelgem are both great options for a family friendly living. You can also just stick to the center itself, which is always vibrant, especially when the students are in town. Oh, and if you own a yacht and a Porsche, you should move to Sint-Martens-Latem, since that's where the rich people reside. 😉

    @@BiteSizedBelgium I'm from Ghent, but also like Liége. Too long ago I was there. Visit the Guillemins station, designed by Calatrava. The Montagne de Bueren, 350+ stairs, but with a beautifull view of the city on top. Go on a sunday and enjoy the giant market along the river and don't make the mistake we did. Don't have breakfast before going to the market.
