The New York Times Highlights Ghent.

Book Your Premium Private Tour & Cultural Experience in Ghent.

The New York Times recently highlighted Ghent as a wonderful alternative to well-known canal cities such as Bruges, Amsterdam and Venice.

We couldn't agree more. Our hometown, Ghent, in Flanders, Belgium, has all the appeal of a great European city on a wonderfully compact scale. Magnificent historic architecture, picturesque canals, a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant local scene.

Autumn is high season in Ghent. Business is in full swing, students are back at university, and there's a wonderful hustle and bustle throughout the city, making it a particularly lively time to visit.

In town for business or pleasure? Over the years, Ghent-Authentic has built up extensive expertise in creating tailor-made cultural experiences for corporate clients from all over the world.
