(Translated by Google) I loved this location! Nice place for taking photos! Nice ruin and nice ornaments! Attention: look up the opening days in advance because it is not open every day. It is close to Dam Gate Station! (Original) Ik vond deze locatie geweldig! Mooie plaats voor het nemen van foto's! Mooie ruïne en leuke ornamenten! Opgelet zoek op voorhand de openingsdagen op want het is niet elke dag bezoekbaar. Het is dicht aan station dampoort!

Small beautiful little park near the center of Gent. Chill place to walk and smoke a J, just beware of the pigs. OINK, OINK 🐷

It's a great place to enjoy. Botanical garden, Museum, playground.

Nice park on central Gent. Well worth a trip. Things to keep the kids entertained and the part on whole seemed to be well kept. Lots of spaces to take a seat or a picnic.

Nice green space between the train station and the old town. Good place to relax.

Good place to unwind ^^

Alright, listen up folks, because I've got the lowdown on Citadelpark in Ghent. Picture this: a lush, green oasis smack dab in the middle of the city. It's like nature's way of saying, "Hey, take a breather!" Walking into Citadelpark is like stepping into a serene wonderland. Trees, flowers, and that fresh grass smell – it's an instant mood lifter. Whether you're a nature lover, a jogger, or just want a chill spot to read a book, this place has got you covered. But wait, there's more! This park is not just about tranquility. It's got some serious coolness going on. There's a legit castle right in the heart of it – S.M.A.K., the contemporary art museum. Art and nature? Sign me up! Now, here's the cherry on top: the pond. Ducks, swans, and all those water vibes make you feel like you're in a Disney movie. Seriously, it's like a slice of fairytale magic right there. Plus, if you're a history buff, you're in for a treat. The park's got some historical ruins, like old city walls, that take you on a journey through time. It's like history and nature had a baby, and its name is Citadelpark. So, if you're in Ghent and need a dose of green therapy, Citadelpark is your spot. Go explore, chill, and soak up all that good stuff nature has to offer. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Really nice landscaped garden with pieces of art/architecture thrown like nuts in chocolate. If you are in Ghent especially in summer and want to get away from hustle bustle of the city center, this is the place for you.

Beautiful, but only open for a couple hours. Double check times before you go. Also, unlike other tourist attractions, there is very little information shared. You may want to read up a little before you go. Definitely worth going though.

Real shame it wasnt open. Google's maps take you to the back of it. The only info found at/near the site was in a window of a building in the nearby park. Needs to have better organized and website.. looked cool what we could see

A hidden oasis. Founded by Amandus of Ghent in 7th century

Beautifull park in the middle of the city. Event Hall ICC, cycling piste, casino, museum SMAK and museum voor schone kunsten all in and around the park. TiP: Don't walk alone at night in this park.

Nice park 2 discover! Playground 4 kids and nice pathways 2 have a walk or bike through! 2 go with at least 2 people for safety cos it has some lovely parts and some history...

Nice green space in the heart of Ghent city. Waterfall is cool. Rodents can be spot during daylight

A must see lots of interesting re-use adaptations for the historic buildings on the site. A great few hours spent roaming this place of innovation, the arts, conference and sport

I loved this park. It is a nice place to walk in the morning. I visited it during summer time and the roses were just espectacular. There is a botanic garden inside (larger than I actually though it would be) just adorable. It is worth spending an hour or so just walking around.

Nice town park, took a quick walk around the park at lunch. Cute statues and pond. I'm sure tge follage when it is not winter makes the park beautiful

Pretty cool modern art museum. Located in former industrial area. Cool spaces and exhibits. Nice park area surrounding the building. Good hangout place.

It's beautiful place to visit 😍

Nice and quiet park with a lovely view when you go above the little cave

One of the nicer park of Ghent with it's own special character.

Nice and big park. Nice for walking. Near the station of Ghent. Also the hotspot for Pokémon go fans

Peaceful place to take a walk and relax.

If you want to do sports or abit of relaxing time .. you need to visit then

Underrated park. Exceptional design

Is beautiful place!

Nice park to walk, cycle or rest.

Nice place for locals to go walk their dogs. If you're a tourist it's not really worth it. At night it can be a bit shady, take care!

Pretty ok!

There's just so much history.Even my kid enjoyed walking around and seeing that beauty.I will be back for sure.

I fell in love with these ruins full of history! Ancient abbey built in 7th century, almost ruined in 16th, but survived till our days. In quite busy and loud city center of Ghent it is a real surprise to meet this quiet and peaceful green place. Abbey is opened only on weekends, so not very easy to get there at any time you wish, but you should definitely plan your visit here! The entrance is free.

Great historical place. Entry is free and you don't need to spend more than 30 minutes to look around.

If you like ancient places and ruins, you will enjoy this place. It's a great secret place in Ghent

One of the most beautiful places in Ghent. This place is kept open by voluntary work.

I liked it but unfortunately we couldn't see it as it is closed. Google maps said it was opened. The walking around was nice tho.

It was not open. Google was well informed about this place opening days

(Translated by Google) Great to visit. (Original) Tof om eens te bezoeken.

If you can get there during the very limited hours it's open do it. It's pretty amazing.

very beautiful place to visit and take photos and also a very nice place to sit down with friends and chill and meet new people. If you go to the water you can see a nice view of the Ghentian 'meathouse' (vleeshuis). An historical monument of the city of Ghent.

Relaxing and forest like greenery

Very pretty park, definitely worth a visit when you're in Gent!

Great park with a playground for small children! Very nice for walking with the family.

Its a big park, nice to walk and to picknick by daytime. It's quite dangerous in nighttime so don't walk alone in this park it has not a good reputation.

Big and peaceful park. I would walk around every day if I lived closer.

Big park and nice to sit in the sun. Not much so much at night because there aren't many lights.

Very nice park with a lot of statues and places, where children can play. Inside the park is also big congress centre (ICC).

Beautiful park, people picnicking & playing games. Wonderful sculpture. This is one my favorite parks in Belgium

Randomly wandered through on a 34 degree day, looking for a place to escape the heat, and was drawn in by the music performances. Great place to be (just not at night).

Was there after 11:00 and Very danger.. too much mentally sick and racist people can give you trouble only because of your skin is different color. 🤦🏻‍♂️ and of course you will not get any help from flanders polismen. So avoid this place ♥️

Beautiful park, it could be maintained better and provide some plaques about the history of the of the park. Overall, a nice stop.

Wonderful & huge park..

beautiful park. plenty of people walking their dogs. for me, the highlight was the pond filled with ducks, geese, seagulls and other birds.

It is a good park for kids, runners and morning walks. It has a lot of open area and a small pond with a cute little waterfall. There are broad roads and hiking paths as well as picnic tables. It is free to enter and you can spend some good time here. Also very easy to get here by tram and a lot of parking space if you want to drive a car here.

Nice but not much clean. I can't find public toilet.

I intentionally go through this park on my way from the Ghent-Sint-Pieters station to the Ghent University campus because its more pleasant than the busy streets full of cars. The bronze statues are impressive

Beautiful park to have a stroll in at sunset. Some weird people visit as well so best to stay away after sunset

A great place to relax. Inside the park it is completely silent. It is also a nice spot for outing with friends and family and for games

Nice Autumn walk with some lucky sunshine and good company ☺️
