Our trip to Ghent

In May, we visited un bel' posto in the north of Belgium - Ghent. Ghent is not as touristic as its neighbour, Bruges, which makes it much easier to explore and enjoy. As a university city, it is full of reasonably priced places to eat, and it offers a range of interesting cultural activities, too. We enjoyed walking along the canals, admiring the architecture of the buildings which line the Graslei and Korenlei Rivers, and soaking up the sunshine while watching a brass band play hits by Queen and other great musicians. We also visited the Museum of Fine Arts (http://www.mskgent.be/) and saw artworks by Hieronymus Bosch and Peter Paul Rubens.
