[Three historical walks in Ghent]

#Spring0yenTrip [Three Historical Walks in Ghent] Ghent is a city that feels like a time warp to the Middle Ages, just under an hour by train from Brussels. Here are some spots where you can feel the history! First, the towering Gravensteen Castle. From the outside, it's a rugged stone structure that makes you think, "This is a castle!", and once inside, there are weapons displays and even medieval torture devices... it's a little scary, but it's very worth seeing! From the top of the tower, you can see the whole city of Ghent, and it is especially beautiful at dusk. Next is Ghent City Hall. It has a strange structure that combines two architectural styles, Gothic and Renaissance, in one building. It's worth taking a picture of just the exterior, and the detailed decorations are really beautiful! And then there's the symbol of the city, St. Nicholas' Church (Sint-Niklaaskerk). The huge tower and the heavy atmosphere are just cool! The inside is a quiet and relaxing space, with a mystical ceiling height and the way the light shines in. 📍All of Ghent's tourist attractions are within walking distance! Just walking around the old town will lift your spirits! ✴︎Admission to the Count's Castle is about 12 euros (audio guide included) ✴︎You can enjoy just the exterior of the church and city hall, and if you have the time, you can also visit the interior! Ghent is a quiet and beautiful canal city that is not flashy, but you will gradually grow to love it. You can go there for a day trip, so it's a great place to make a short trip during your stay in Brussels!
