During the Gentse Feesten, you can kiss the paving stones on this square until early in the morning. And for the rest of the year, the partygoer will certainly get their money's worth here.
This is the epicenter of Ghent nightlife. Centrally located is the Charlatan, a large alternative dance café with different performances every week, next to it is a small alternative club and also a record label. Across this square are a few more heavy night cafes.
At dawn every Friday, Saturday and Sunday the flea market starts on Sint-Jacobsplein. Perfect for coffee and treasure hunt.

Anyone who still wants to go out at night is in the right place at Vlasmarkt. Lots of bars and pubs gather around the infamous square. The best-known location is the Charlatan. The dance pub and beer bar attracts hundreds of night owls on weekends.
Other popular locations at Vlasmarkt include the Kinky Star bar, where around 300 bands perform per year, the Gloria bar, where beer is drunk in the cellar, or the des Amis bar, where you can dance and party on two floors.
