I visited Gent from 16-17 July 2022 and I went there around 5 pm by train from Antwerp central station to Gent train station. First I started my trip with Citadelpark. The park was nice and beautiful. I went to near small pond. There was a waterfall and a nice bird. I took some nice photos.
If you like to visit museums, SMAK-Municipal Museum of Contemporary art and Museum Voor Schone Kunsten museums are on the corner of the park and then you can visit the Gent City Museum by walking a bit.
After that, I wanted to find accommodation first for the night and I found a hostel in the centre. The place calls Hostel Uppelink. The location of the hostel was really nice and I was lucky there was a Gentse Feesten. I learned that the festival goes for 10 days and all around the city centre of Gent turns open music and festival areas. After I rest a bit in the hostel I went outside and I recognised the city is so alive and that festival is amazing.
I walked through the river in the city centre, and I visited Saint Michael’s Church then walked a bit and visited Saint Nicholas Church and then on the same street Saint Bravo Cathedral. All those areas had some concerts at the same time.
After that, I wanted to see Graffiti Street. There was a narrow road and graffiti were on each side of all walls. That street is amazing if someone like graffiti and takes many photos there. Then I had my dinner in a restaurant called Tasty World and there was a vegetarian restaurant. I liked the burger and lemonade.
I followed the road to Patershol and took some photos then walked through the Donkere port. After that, I walked to Gravensteen Castle and took some nice photos of that area.
I went to the hostel again and after resting a bit I went to the festival celebrations and joined concerts through the river and centre. It was a huge celebration and many people were there. I took some nice photos and videos over there. Almost midnight I went to sleep and another day I went to Brugge.
