Best record shop in Ghent. Take your time to look for exclusive material. Be cool, you are surrounded by the Ghent DJ scene.
Usually crowded in summer, but try to find yourself a nice place on the grass or sand. Swim, walk, play, rest, you can do it all over here!

Don't look at the interior, this is one of the best italian places in ghent! Try the dishes for 2: finger licking good!
DON'T try the takeaway next door. Sit in and try their signature cappuccino with REAL cream, or ask for a coffee with sidedish of cream. Interior unchanged since the 1950s!
Wonderful restaurant: great staff and delicious dishes. Be sure to try one of the specials. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Go inside the church, it has an art gallery too. In summer there are concerts, fairs and events on the plaza. Leonard Cohen and Prince once performed here!
Menu isn't long, but everything tastes good. If you want to try a Belgian specialty, go for the 'stoverij'.

Ghent's nicest train station, if you've got the chance you should plant your butt on one of the benches on the square in front of the station and enjoy the view ;)

A fantastic theater right in the middle of Ghent. They show you the indie stuff you can't see elsewhere. Every once and a while you should go and see a super movie in a super tiny, super cosy room.
This building is quite new and should become a popular meeting point in Ghent. A walk through/under it is recommended.
The famous theater of Ghent. Beautiful building, but theater shows are only in Dutch.
