During a city break, you can endlessly stroll through unfamiliar streets until your feet hurt. Sometimes the weather might be a bit of an issue: too cold, too hot, too rainy. Fortunately, there are plenty of indoor activities in Ghent. Sharpen you cultural knowledge in one of the museums, (re)discover the impressive Ghent Altarpiece in St Bavo’s Cathedral or visit the Castle of the Counts. Each of these activities will keep you busy for a couple of hours.
