Set where the Scheldt and Leie rivers meet, Gent reveals itself to you in layers; Gothic towers, winding canals, and lively squares where music drifts into the night. Walk through the medieval heart of the city, past guild houses that glow along the Graslei, then step inside St. Bavo’s Cathedral to see the Van Eyck altarpiece, one of Europe’s great masterpieces. Between visits, you might pause at a riverside café filled with students or sample a cone of Belgian fries. Enjoy the views from the river as the old city shimmers under soft light, its bridges alive with cyclists and laughter echoing from hidden courtyards. With Celebrity River Cruises, Gent becomes more than a stop along the water, it’s a glimpse of Belgium’s creative spirit, rooted in history yet always evolving.
