Ghent's Loreleie is a bright red, seated figure on the waterfront of Portus Ganda, right where the Scheldt and Leie rivers meet. Johan Meirlaen's artwork has a soft, inviting pose: anyone sitting next to her can look out over the long water towards the harbor basin.

Currently open Fri/Sat/Sun. Outside of these days, the beech hedge reconstruction of the cathedral remains

On November 29, 2024, it was 10 years ago that Luc De Vos left us. That "Nobody is lost" became clear when no fewer than 7,000 Ghent residents (and perhaps also non-Ghent residents) gathered on the Vrijdagsmarkt that day and sang the classic "Mia" together with Gorki-zonder-Vos (but with Flip Kowlier from 't Hof van Commerce). The event was broadcast live on VRT radio and streamed on VRT-Max.

Keizerpark is a park in Oud-Gentbrugge, a district of the Belgian city of Ghent. It is located on an island that was part of the city walls of Ghent. The park is approximately 1.8 hectares in size and is connected by two bicycle bridges to the Visserij (Ghent city centre) on one side and the Scheldekaai (Gentbrugge) on the other. On the side of the Brusselsesteenweg there are facilities for basketball and skating. In the middle of the park is a lawn with steps to the water. Fishing is possible on the wooden pontoon along the Scheldt. There is also a playground and a picnic area.

The Saint Bavo's Abbey was an abbey in the Belgian city of Ghent. The abbey was founded in the 7th century by Amandus of Ghent, a missionary from Aquitaine. It is located near the confluence of the Leie and the Scheldt and was therefore originally called Ganda, after the Celtic word meaning confluence or mouth.

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” reflects 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 various 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.

The red statue of the Lorelei in Ghent is a striking work of art located at the Portus Ganda, near the confluence of the Scheldt and the Leie. This statue was created by the artist Sami Briss and is not the traditional Lorelei from German folklore, but rather a modern, abstract interpretation of the myth. The statue is red in color, which makes it stand out strongly in its surroundings. The shape is stylized and shows a female figure, with curves and lines that are elegant and flowing, almost like a fusion of water and body, which creates a link to the story of the Lorelei, who in myths is a water nymph or siren who would enchant ships and sailors and lure them to their doom. The location of the statue on the Ghent waterways reinforces the symbolism of the water and the legend. The red of the statue can be interpreted as a symbol for passion, danger or temptation, which fits well with the myth of the Lorelei as a seductive, but deadly figure.

Alice Martha, Visu Alice Feminism in Ghent A project about feminism in Ghent. The making of this work took 2 months because of lots of bad weather. Some words about this project by the artist: "On the tram, 10 women are depicted which (have) mean(t) a lot in the strive for equal rights. I present you: Greta Craeymeersch, Kati Couck, Moniek Darge, Chantal De Smet, Marijke Colle, Lucie Van Crombrugge, Jaqui Goegebeur, Denise Deweerdt, Roos Proesmans and last but not least Emilie Claeys. They have started Dolle Mina's in Ghent, women against rape, abortion centres, education about our bodies and sexuality and the list goes on." This project had a little extra twist: due to some interventions on the tram, some windows were redone. Creating a new version of the artwork, in new colours. A project by Amazone vzw.
