Day 2: Discover Ghent – A Guided City Tour
The next day, head to Ghent, another gem of Belgium. Known for its lively atmosphere, rich history, and stunning architecture, Ghent is a city that seamlessly blends old-world charm with a modern flair. Start your day with GetYourGuide’s Ghent City Tour, where you’ll be guided through the city’s medieval heart, exploring iconic landmarks like the Gravensteen Castle, St. Bavo's Cathedral (home to the famous Ghent Altarpiece), and the Korenmarkt square.

Wander through its cobblestone streets, admire the Palace of the Grand Dukes, and stop at Place Guillaume II to see the statue of Grand Duke Guillaume II. Luxembourg is also home to beautiful green spaces, so be sure to visit the Pétrusse Casemates, an underground fortification that offers spectacular views over the city.
If you're interested in history, the American Cemetery Memorial is a must-visit. This cemetery honors the fallen soldiers of World War II and offers a powerful glimpse into the history of the region.

Afterward, take a leisurely walk along the river and explore the town’s quaint streets, where you can stop at one of the town’s famous cafés and sample the local treat, coque de Dinant, a delicious honey biscuit.
