What stands out for me is that Ghent is so often over-shadowed by the reputation of Bruges but Ghent is just as wonderful. The tenth-century Gravensteen Castle has a fun-filled medieval torture chamber!<br />bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-50067382799683507672018-01-30T12:30:40.644-11:002018-01-30T12:30:40.644-11:00Years ago the beloved and I slowly drove from Isra...Years ago the beloved and I slowly drove from Israel to Britain, stopping in Ghent for two days en route. The original town planning, architecture and gardens are particularly special because so many other medieval cities were modernised or bombed. The Museum of Fine Arts stopped this art history student in her tracks!!! As did the Design Museum Gent displaying Victor Horta and Le Corbusier etc. And the Huis van Alijn beguinage museum was well worth visiting. But Saint Bavo Cathedral and the Ghent Altarpiece alone would have made the trip worthwhile.<br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-39842444837511229752018-01-30T09:00:09.370-11:002018-01-30T09:00:09.370-11:00Gent, Brugge, Antwerpen, they're part of my ch...Gent, Brugge, Antwerpen, they're part of my childhood and teen memories, because I lived so close by there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-17131713510650716352018-01-30T08:26:46.883-11:002018-01-30T08:26:46.883-11:00We spent a lovely day in Ghent - very pretty city....We spent a lovely day in Ghent - very pretty city.Lydia C.
