*History & Culture*

Make sure to reserve at least a few days to visit and learn more about Gent’s deep history and cultural landmarks! We recommend visiting top-rated Gravensteen attraction – a 10th century majestic castle built in a moat offering a stunning backdrop of the city. Why not also visit the historic city centre and admire the fascinating Gothic and Romanesque architecture? Saint Bavo’s Cathedral and Saint Nicholas’ Church are prominent examples of this architectural style, along with an intricately detailed interior. For art enthusiasts, the Museum voor Schone Kunsten (Museum of Fine Arts) is a must-see, containing thousands of exhibitions and preserved pieces of art from the late Middle Ages all the way up to the first half of the 20th century. Other notable mentions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Korenlei, and Kasteel van Ooidonk.

*Nature*

You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to all the natural attractions that Gent has to offer! On the outskirts of Gent lies the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen Nature Preserve – covering 230 hectares of marshland, wetlands, farmlands, meadows, and canals as well as many species of birds. If you want to see more diverse plant life and biodiversity, head on over to the Ghent University Botanical Gardens. Here you will have the chance to discover over 10,000 plant species from all around the world! Need a break from the city? No problem – take a stroll down one of the many beautiful city parks, with Citadel Park, Muinkpark, and Koning Albert I Park being a stone’s throw away.

*Entertainment*

There are a multitude of high calibre performing art centres, concert halls, and live music venues for you to indulge in.

Major problem with heating.

The apartment was very cold (not habitable) when we checked in a 4pm. As it was extremely cold in Ghent that day and we were looking forward getting inside and warm, this was really unpleasant. Contacted the StayC number displayed on the wall. Three calls later (including one to a person who answered but could not help because she was driving ). Eventually spoke to someone who advised that we switch on the heating option on the a/c in the living room. This did improve the temperature in that room but not in the bedroom or bathroom. She advised that she would send someone to repair the heating.When we left to go out to eat at7.30, nobody had arrived. Someone came out before we returned home & the heating worked in the bedroom from then on. The heating in the bathroom was not working throughout our stay which made it impossible to shower over the three days. In addition, while we had no difficulty using the code to open the front door, the door to our apartment (No. 9) proved much more temperamental, requiring 10-12 attempts to gain access each time. While it always worked eventually, this felt far from certain and was unnecessarily stressful. Finally, there was a strong smell of sewage in the hallway & stairs. The lift stopped working on Sunday afternoon. While the apartment was clean and spacious, it was bare, with a corporate atmosphere & little decorative addition, not as represented in photograph on Vrbo site.. All in all , the accommodation was very poor &
