St. Bavo's Abbey Tours

Get in touch with your spiritual side and mingle with worshippers at St. Bavos Abbey. Quietly reflect outside for a while or ask if you're allowed to join the next service.

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! (10 reviews)
Naomi was a great help to us, helping with our dinner plans. The rooms were the best we had on our trip to Switzerland, France, Belgium and The Netherlands. We would highly recommend the Falco and gladly stay there again!

9.8/10 Exceptional! (37 reviews)
The host was wonderful and the property was lovely. Close enough to attractions while being in a more quiet area. Delicious baked goods and other breakfast options provided. The host accommodated an early arrival and offered a quick breakfast option one day as we had an early tour scheduled. Thank you! Merci beaucoup!

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.
