Portus Ganda is a historic marina in the city of Ghent, Belgium, located where the Scheldt and Leie rivers meet. It offers a beautiful, peaceful setting in the heart of the city. The marina is used for recreational boating and is a popular place for both locals and tourists to enjoy the water, historic surroundings, and lively atmosphere.

This area was once the original port of Ghent, and the name “Portus Ganda” is a nod to this heritage—“Portus” means port in Latin and “Ganda” is the old name for Ghent. In recent decades, the area has been redeveloped, combining its maritime history with modern amenities. Parks, historic buildings, and a variety of dining options surround the marina, making it a perfect place for a leisurely stroll, boat watching, or dining with a view.

Portus Ganda’s rich history has made it not only a hub for recreational boating, but also an iconic part of Ghent’s cityscape.
