The St. Michael's Bridge is a stone arch bridge in the center of the Belgian city of Ghent. The bridge spans the Leie River, on the south side of the Graslei and Korenlei. The current monumental bridge was built between 1905 and 1909, after the construction of the post office. Both the St. Michael's Bridge and the Old Post Office were designed by architect Louis Cloquet. Previously, there was a flat swing bridge. The bridge is part of Sint-Michielshelling Street. From the bridge, one has a view to the north of the Graslei and Korenlei, and in the distance, the Gravensteen Castle. To the east, the bridge offers a characteristic view of Ghent's three towers: St. Nicholas' Church, the Ghent Belfry, and St. Bavo's Cathedral. St. Michael's Church stands on the southwest side. The bridge was designated a protected monument in 1983.

The town hall has been the political centre of the city since the 14th century. And the city administration is still located here today. The town hall houses a wedding chapel, among other things. But even if you don't want to say "I do", you can visit the town hall during a guided tour. There are many historical places and buildings in Ghent. The old town hall is undoubtedly one of the most imposing and impressive of all. Bruges or Ghent?! Which is more beautiful? For me it was immediately clear, Ghent is without question much more beautiful 😍

The beauty of the Graslei enchants everyone. The beautiful gabled houses are reflected in the Leie. Visitors and residents can enjoy the peace and quiet on both banks of the river. Sit on the quay and not only stretch your legs, but also relax your soul. Or you can find a nice spot in one of the many street cafés.

Beautiful town hall, unfortunately you could only visit the entrance area.

The town hall of Ghent is a five-hundred-year-old building complex and definitely worth seeing.

The Graslei is a historic street in the center. This street forms the quay on the right bank of the Leie, opposite the Korenlei on the left bank. From the 11th to the 18th century, the Graslei and the Korenlei formed the port of Ghent. Each house on the Graslei has its own history and bears witness to the flourishing of Ghent trade in the Middle Ages. It is a beautiful place to visit, with its historic buildings and vibrant riverside life. It is also the location of the popular Restaurant De Graslei, known for its Belgian culinary specialties.

Life is in full swing here. There is always something going on, lots of sights, great restaurants and definitely take a river cruise!

When the sun is shining, lined with the small bars along the way, simply fantastic...
