    Wonderful location and surroundings at night. Feels like time travel into the past, with historic buildings in the area, no cars due to the pedestrian zone, and only a few tourists around. I couldn’t imagine Gent being so beautiful, but the City Hall is definitely one of the landmarks.

    The City charges unsuspecting tourist cars for driving across. Contrary to Bruges, where everything is clearly indicated, everyone gets slapped with a fine for driving through.

    Ghent is located 30 minutes from Brussel. Small city but with beautiful architecture. We visited City Hall, Several Churches and the Graffiti street.

    Tip: Nehmen Sie sich eine Kamera und machen Nahaufnahmen von der Außenfassade - so viel zu entdecken an Statuen, kunstvoller Steinwerke und und und - es ist ein Rennaissance-Pracht- und Paradebau. Einfach herrlich. Gent war reich, man sieht es hier wieder mal!

    The town hall (Stadhuis) is a great piece of art in the finest Gothic form richly decorated with statues. It looks beautiful during the day and luminates at night.

    Stadhuis (Ghent City Hall) is one of the historically important buildings located in the city centre of Ghent. Much of the 51 room building dates back several centuries, providing opportunity to see several prominent architectural styles from the past. Unfortunately, we learned that you can only visit the inside of Stadhuis with a guide. There is information related to how to arrange a guided visit on the Visit Ghent website page for the Ghent City Hall. Regardless, the exterior is attractive and enjoyable to see as well. You can walk around the building and see impressive Neo-gothic features as well as sections that resemble Italian Renaissance in style. Note: The Visit Ghent website page for the Ghent City Hall includes a virtual 360 degree tour of the inside of the building. This at least allows you to view the inside of the building online if curious.

    Everyone talks about Brugge but let me tell you Ghent we fell in love with. Same feel and look but less popular and I found to be more beautiful. Definitely stop here it is so so beautiful and romantic and a place where they captured a time way before we were here. Castles and waffles heaven. You won't be disappointed.

    Ghent Town Hall is a complex of buildings surrounding the Botermarkt square. Construction of the Town Hall began in the 15th century and continued until the 17th century, but was never completed according to the original plan. The Town Hall has 51 rooms. The Town Hall symbolises the history and culture of the city of Ghent.

    It has definitely improved over the years. They should really consider starting online booking system for the immigration office. Also, they should also start an SMS system to notify that in how much time your turn will come. Now most of the staff is friendly.
