Areas

Ghent is divided into two quarters: the historic centre and the artistic quarter.

FINDING YOUR WAY ROUND

You’ll really have to do your very best to get lost in Ghent. Particularly since the pedestrian signposting is now in place. You will find the easy-reference signposts at no fewer than 114 locations throughout the city.

Henceforth, Ghent is divided into two quarters and each quarter into several sites. Arrows in various colours show you the way from one site to another and, of course, each signpost displays the location of the stations and coach parks.

For the sake of convenience, we will follow the same arrangement on this website. All places of interest are classified by site. Things which are found together on this website are therefore also close to each other in reality. Names with the pedestrian symbol between square brackets are mentioned identically on the signposts.

And should you still manage to get lost, have a good look around you. There is a good chance that you will come across one or other quiet corner, attractive terrace or hidden monument. And you certainly won’t have to go far to find… the next signpost.
