Historical Free Tour of Ghent ⭐UNBELIEVABLE⭐

Ghent, university city, rebellious, authentic, monumental.
Nicknamed the city of "all times", where you can see a mixture of modernity with antiquity. The Ghents say that almost without one noticing, you will tell us what you think of this ambiguity.

Ghent is also called the city of the three towers , due to its majestic and medieval towers.
The tower of the Cathedral of Saint Bavo , where the so important and internationally recognized work of the Van Eyck brothers is located , the ¨Adoration of the Mystic Lamb¨ .
The tower of its municipal bell tower, declared a World Heritage Site.
And the tower of the Church of San Nicolás , one of the oldest buildings in the city.
All these wonders are part of our tour of the old town of Ghent.
We will begin by telling its history, the importance that Emperor Carlos I of Spain, V of Germany, has had in his passage through these lands. How his reign made it set the pace of history and how this experience is still remembered today by the inhabitants. You will know why the Ghents are the most rebellious in Belgium since there is a saying that Ghent bends, but never gives up.

We will walk along the banks of the Lys river , the nerve center of city life, where the oldest stepped house in Europe is located.

You will be able to appreciate, or taste if you prefer, its traditional sweet : the ¨noses of Ghent¨, or Cuberdon. The peculiarity of its shape will call your attention, but you will be amazed at the reason for which it was created.
The stalls of these sweets adorn the streets, with their colors, challenging the most sweet tooth.
