Overview

Ghent features a medieval city center with waterways that pass key landmarks like its three main towers, two castles, an old port, and several guild halls. This guided boat trip lasts about 40 minutes and begins at the jetty located at the green hut on Korenlei A4 in the city center. The boat moves along the historic canals while a guide provides commentary in multiple languages. Along the route, passengers will pass the Belfry of Ghent and St. Bavo's Cathedral, see the Castle of the Counts of Flanders known as Gravensteen, and view Prinsenhof, the birthplace of Emperor Charles V. Drinks are not included but can be purchased at the jetty prior to boarding. All taxes, fees, and handling charges are included in the price of the trip.
