Being born and raised in Ghent but now living in the nowhere in France since twenty odd years my heart is bleeding seeing my lovely city through your lens. There is truly no place on this earth to compare with all the beauty and unique splendour Ghent kept for thousand of years. Above all it's not just an open air museum but a living city where it is pleasant and peaceful to live. A modern city reborn in the 1990's with respect for a cultural deep rooted Flemish background, dynamic, friendly and greener by the day banning traffic out of the centre. It has become the n° 1 tourist city in Europe - you can see why ! Thanks for sharing this jewel.

Ghent is touristic but not like Bruges which is a museum. Ghent stil is a lively vibrant city with students and working people and a rich cultural scène for everyone. You can visit Ghent cheaply if you want. Also outside the center there is a lot of attention for cyclists and everywhere there are green parks for families and children. And it’s true, there is still a lack for affordable housing but i think it’s much worse in most comparable cities.

Very famous for the narrow cobble stone roads packed with some of the best restaurants in town. Within immediate proximity of your tour (minutes walking), you also forgot the other medieval castle 'Het Duivelsteen', and the medieval city entrance gate with double towers calles 'Het Rabot'. But, all in all, still a good video though.

Who said it’s always raining in Belgium. Dream weather for a dream city I unfortunately never visited. Seeing so many Middle Ages treasures reminds me that when I first visited Canada 40 years ago, I was shown, with pride, the oldest house in town, a full hundred years! Of course you avoid stating that your home country has buildings dating back. 12th 13th century and older. You then realize what treasures we have in Europe. When traveling far away from home take time to see the local culture. Flying for 12 hours to sit on a beach, as beautiful the beach may be, isn’t an option for me. I spent two weeks on an island in the Maldives, just boring.

As a Fleming, I can guarantee you that there's litter. It varies throughout the year. It's not as bad as France, but it's worse than Germany.

Its pretty bad, but there is a yearly cleaning aswell in the water. Every year they dig up bycicles, little motor vehicles etc

What an absolutely stunning city! History buffs are drawing attention to this type of architecture located in cities all over our world, on every continent. The stepped, triangular shaped roofs seem to be unique to Ghent, though. It seems there was a cohesive civilization before us. I think that 'torture' equipment was placed in the castle as a draw, lol! Nice to see many people without masks, especially the children. Thanx for sharing, LTE!

The stepped triangular roofs are actually common throughout the low countries, its not only a Ghentish/Belgian thing. Its a dutch culture style. Ghent was lucky to be spared from bombardment in the 2 world wars the Netherlands however was bombed just because.

@@conan2735 You don't see this type of roof architecture in most major cities across the world, though. Thanx for this information.

I hope to work in Belgium for NATO when I get older, I wish I could live in Ghent or Antwerp instead of Brussels, but the commute may be too much. With remote work hopefully, I could work in one of these cities, while being close enough to NATO HQ for anything I needed to go to.

"Manhattan of the Middle Ages". I wonder if the modern day Manhattan would one day become this serene as well. Glad to know that you have recovered from COVID-19 and are able to travel again. Aren't you a doctor? I don't remember which video it was, but I remember you describing yourself as a doctor who loved to travel in one of your old videos. Anyway, best wishes from California!
