A Brief Guide to Ghent, Belgium
Nikki Raitz
Ghent (also spelled Gent or Gand) is a college town in East Flanders, Belgium. The city is centered around a medieval castle and is host to numerous gothic churches, beautiful canals and blooming side streets. Of all the places I have visited in Europe, this one is my favorite.
Take it as a day trip, a morning stop off or take several days to relax and explore this amazing city.

Not familiar with Ghent? It's reminiscent of Amsterdam but with a more storybook feel, complete with a castle.
