You'll find this house of prayer in St. Macharius. Once you've explored all you can at St. Bavo's Abbey, have a look at nearby Gravensteen Castle, Flanders Expo, and Saint Bavo Cathedral.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,276 reviews)
Friendly staff and perfect location - a beautiful park in the back yard and an easy walk to Sablon, Grand Place, and Mont des Arts. Beautiful views from the rooms and the best breakfast buffet we’ve experienced in three years of traveling Europe. The corner suites are well worth the money.

Ganda, as Ghent was originally called, arose at the confluence of the Leie (Lys) and the Schelde (Scheldt). On that site there is now a marina for passing boat traffic: “Portus Ganda”. The Lower Scheldt has today been restored to its former glory. Bridges and parks, cosy pavement cafés and a wonderfully restored art deco swimming pool all make up one of Ghent’s beautiful (new) little corners.
