It almost doesn't matter where you are in Ghent, it is simply stunningly beautiful. This special place offers a great view of the Leie, one of Ghent's two rivers, next to the Scheldt. Stay, enjoy and take some nice photos 📸

The Leie can truly be called one of Ghent's most important attractions. The river, which originates in northern France, occupies a prominent place in the water city. Strolling or sailing along the water, enjoying a drink on a terrace overlooking the water, exploring picturesque East Flemish villages via a cycling route, admiring the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt at Portus Ganda: it's all just as idyllic as it sounds.
