About Ghent

Discover Ghent, a bustling university city located at the junction of the Leie and Schelde Rivers, and a city that takes great pride in its past as the residence of the Counts of Flanders. Ghent welcomes you to tour its castles, marketplaces and wharfs before heading out to play a starring role in the liveliest nightlife in all of Belgium. NH welcomes you to the NH Ghent Belfort, distinguished amongst the hotels in Ghent thanks to its touches of luxury and its perfect location in the heart of the city.

Wise and Joyful

Ghent's main attractions are split between the city's Historic Quarter and its Art District. As Ghent City Centre boasts the most extensive pedestrian area in Belgium, exploring them on foot is no problem. That exploration should almost certainly take in the Cathedral of Saint Bavo, with the dual attractions of its famous tower and Jan Van Eyck's masterpiece, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb.

Your journey into Ghent's past will take you to the imposing Castle of the Counts of Flanders, whose honorary tower will afford you a magnificent vantage point over the city and its canals. Afterwards, you can head for the medieval Patershol area, where you will find Ghent's most unusual shops and restaurants, with delights no true gourmet will want to miss.

Ghent's Art District provides art lovers with non-stop stimulation. Whether you choose to take in the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Capitole, which is a Mecca for music hall lovers, or the Kinepolis cinema complex, you’re bound to be impressed. On Sundays, a riot of colour is added to these attractions by the Flower Market in Kouter Square.

Ghent in Celebration

At night time, the lights of Ghent provide the perfect backdrop for a walk along the wharfs. If that walk happens to take in one of the many pubs, where you can sample a wide variety of Belgian beers at your leisure, then so much the better.

NH invites you to stay at its exclusive hotels in Ghent, with unbeatable locations in the Historic Quarter, in front of the City Hall, the Cathedral of Saint Bavo and the Sint Pieter railway station.
