Ghent appears almost magical the first time you see its architecture. My partner and I were in a dreamlike trance as our eyes moved from one beautiful building to the next. And we had just experienced the beautiful canals of Amsterdam the previous day!
One of the things you must do while in Ghent is explore this highlight with a canal boat tour. It will give you the best up-close views of Ghent’s stunning architecture.
You can choose between a variety of different canal tours, from a hop on hop off cruise, to a romantic picnic down the canal—though for a true taste of history, opt for a tour in a classic wooden boat. To find a tour operator, Ghent’s tourism website has a list of recommendations.
