Patershol

Patershol's medieval maze of cobblestone streets and step-gabled houses tells a thousand tales from Ghent's colourful past. Explore the imposing Gravensteen Castle, wander through the Old Fish Market, or discover local heritage at the House of Alijn. Art galleries and boutique shops tuck themselves between centuries-old buildings that have seen it all. The area serves up a feast of global flavours in its diverse restaurants, from traditional Flemish taverns to exotic international cuisine. Boutique hotels and cosy B&Bs in converted historic buildings offer charming stays with authentic character. The narrow streets make walking the best way to soak up Patershol's intimate, timeless atmosphere.

Graslei and Korenlei

Graslei and Korenlei's medieval quaysides transport you straight to Ghent's golden commercial heyday. Guild houses with ornate stepped gables reflect in the River Leie, creating one of Europe's most Instagram-worthy waterfront scenes. Cross St. Michael's Bridge for panoramic views or hop on a boat tour to see these architectural gems from a fresh angle. Restaurants housed in historic buildings serve Belgian classics on riverside terraces where cobblestones meet candlelight. Boutique hotels occupy converted guild houses, offering modern comforts behind centuries-old facades. The area is wonderfully walkable, with tram connections nearby when your feet need a break from those charming but uneven streets.

Kunstenkwartier

Kunstenkwartier is Ghent's cultural wonderland where art and history collide on cobblestone streets. St. Peter's Abbey and the Vooruit Arts Centre anchor this walkable area full of galleries and museums. Gothic spires rise above medieval guild houses while the Design Museum adds modern flair to the historic landscape. Local bistros serve traditional Flemish dishes like waterzooi as church bells mark the hours. The area's boutique hotels occupy converted historic buildings with original architectural details. Trams and dedicated bike lanes make getting around a breeze when your feet need a break from the cobblestones.

Ghent City Centre

Ghent City Centre wraps you in medieval magic with its imposing Gravensteen Castle and awe-inspiring St. Bavo's Cathedral housing the famous Ghent Altarpiece. Centuries-old guild houses line cobblestone streets and tranquil canals, creating a living museum you can actually wander through. The soaring Belfry watches over bustling squares where history feels delightfully alive and within reach. Car-free zones make exploring this medieval wonderland a breeze on foot, with trams connecting to outer districts when your feet need a break. Cosy brown cafés serve local beers alongside traditional Flemish dishes, while boutique hotels tucked into converted guild houses offer the perfect historic-meets-comfortable home base.

Elisabethbegijnhof

Step back in time as you wander the cobblestone pathways of Elisabethbegijnhof, a 13th-century UNESCO-listed haven. This medieval community features whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs surrounding a peaceful central garden where ancient trees shade weathered benches. The Gothic St. Elisabeth Church anchors this contemplative area that offers a quiet retreat from Ghent's busier areas. While dining options are minimal within the beguinage itself, Ghent's centre is just a 15-minute walk away. The area prioritises its tranquil, non-commercial atmosphere over tourist amenities. Getting around requires walking, as narrow medieval streets restrict vehicle access and cobblestones can challenge cyclists.

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel just far enough from the main area to be lovely and quiet. They made our stay even more special with some surprise balloons and chocolates in the room as we were celebrating a birthday and anniversary. Gardens are very nice to sit and have a snack or a drink. We did book LOF but found it wasn’t to our dietary requirements so can’t rate this but it was very busy when it was open. The bar is a nice area sit for coffee or drinks. We had a luxury room facing the courtyard which was very spacious, lovely shower and a nice little addition of the Nespresso. All in all we would definitely stay here again."

"Boutique hotel with personality. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great. Small staff but they always did more than expected to help. Only drawback is there isn’t an elevator and we had big heavy luggage to maneuver upstairs and through narrow halls. Perfect location to city center. I would recommend."
