Hiking

This particularly beautiful corner of Ghent is a city-within-the-city. Forget where you are for a moment. And let yourself be immersed in the Middle Ages. Playfully expose the centuries-old history …

Hiking

The Patershol is an old district that dates back to medieval times. It's home to many bar and restaurants that are hidden among the narrow streets. At night it truly feels magical.

Hiking

In the Patershol district, situated between the Lieve and the Leie, lived the 'little people' of old. With its narrow houses and winding alleys, which draw an irregular pattern on the city map, its tiny shops and original pubs, it is today a popular tourist destination.
