Gravensteen

"Exploring Gravensteen Castle is another thing you absolutely must do if you’re only in Ghent for one day. But here’s the thing: you must, must, spring for the audio guide. Trust me on this—it’s been the best audio guide we’ve ever had. They actually have a comedian guiding you along the castle, it’s pretty hilarious. My kids’ favorite part, for what it’s worth, was the hole for the toilets outside along the castle wall. They thought it was hilarious that people would do their business and it would just fall from there. Note if traveling with young kids: We let our 8-year-old daughter listen to the guide…but that was probably as young as I’d feel comfortable. While most of the “adult” jokes went over her head, I’m sure she understood a little more than she let on. Our younger two kids still had fun looking at everything, and we let them borrow our phones to take pictures/play games while we explored the castle."

"Perhaps the most popular attraction for tourists, the Gravensteen Castle originating all the way back from the Middle Ages. You have to pay to enter, but I highly suggest parting ways with the minimal entrance fee. When in the city, you must see it as it is one of the most popular places to visit in Ghent.
