Historical City

The city center offers a very rich cultural heritage. Saved from major conflicts and wars, the town could preserve many medieval houses, churches and monuments, including a fortified castle. The skyline is dominated by the so called three towers; that of the Saint-Nicolas church, the Belfry and the Saint-Bavo cathedral. Two rivers (Leie and Schelde) crawl through the city, shaping harbors, banks and bridges, and finally meet at the port of Ghent (the place where the city was founded).

Vibrant Urban Life

The citizens of Ghent are known for their open minded spirit. They like to organize events that bring people together, no matter what cultural or social background you might have. The highlight of this are the famous ‘Gentse feesten’, a yearly 10 day city festival in July. But also throughout the year there are many events that are going on.

Incubator For Technology

Ghent is home to the largest university in the country, from which many initiatives and spin-offs are generated. It’s also home to many industries and as such an ideal meeting place for business.
