Ghent in 2 days — FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Ghent?

Two days lets you savour Ghent — the old town, castle, a boat trip and tastings on day one — and take a day trip to fairy-tale Bruges on day two, a great Flanders combination.

What should I not miss in 2 days in Ghent?

The Gravensteen castle, St Bavo’s and the Ghent Altarpiece, a canal boat trip, chocolate and beer tastings, and a day trip to Bruges.

Should I visit both Ghent and Bruges?

Yes — Ghent is grander and livelier, Bruges more picture-perfect, and they’re just 25–30 minutes apart by train, so seeing both is the ideal way to experience Flanders.
