Graslei is a picturesque and iconic street in Ghent, known for its stunning medieval architecture and historical buildings along the Lys River. Walk along the streets that capture Ghent’s rich history and vibrant atmosphere as you walk in a pub, sit and chat on the waterfront and have a treat in one of the cafes that decorate this scenic route. 

Where better to grab a cup of coffee than in the first coffee bar in Ghent? Mokabon roasts their beans fresh every week since 1937. This cozy interior is usually full with coffee lovers, a safe haven from the always-changing, rapid everyday world. Read a newspaper or have chat and enjoy your cup, always with a side of fluffy whipped cream.

Talk about chocolate coins and rock-hard peppermint swirls, sour gummies and fruit-looking marzipan. Confiserie Temmerman does it all. Head to this candy emporium for an exquisite sugar overload. 

The Verhaegen is a fantastic bed and breakfast in the heart of the city. Stunning suites with sublime decor and a magnificent garden to enjoy during sunset. This is an ideal stay for those design aficionados with an eye for detail and luxurious travellers.
