About This Guide

Ghent suits a few weeks well. It is a student city with a lively everyday life of cafés, markets and galleries, a compact centre you can cover on foot or by bike, and quick rail links to Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp. Winter is cool and grey but the city keeps its cafés, galleries and markets running.

Best neighbourhoods for a longer stay

  • Historic centre and Patershol: Walkable to cafés, shops, markets and the canals, but busy and pricier, especially at weekends.
  • Sint-Pieters station and Citadelpark: Direct trains, museums in the park, and quieter residential streets, with a tram into the centre.
  • Dampoort: Residential area with its own station and shops, a short bike ride from the centre and calmer than the old town.

Good to know

  • Bikes are the fastest way around. Many rentals come with one or can arrange it.
  • Ghent has a low-emission zone and a restricted car centre, so parking is limited.
  • Brussels and Bruges are both a short train ride away, so day trips are easy without a car.

How we picked: these are apartments and aparthotels in Ghent rated 8 or higher by Booking.com guests, so you usually get a kitchen and more space for a longer stay. Checked in October 2026.
