Tour description
On this Free Tour you will discover how the city became one of the great beer-making centers of Belgium as we explore its medieval historic center.
It's not just a beer tour: it's a journey through Ghent's history via its taverns, guilds, monasteries, and traditions.
During the tour we will talk about:
🍺 The medieval origin of beer in Flanders
🏰 The influence of monks and brewers' guilds
⚔️ Local curiosities and legends
🍻 Types of Belgian beer and how to differentiate them
📖 Stories that don't appear in traditional guidebooks
We will visit some of the most emblematic areas of Ghent's historic center, where you will understand why beer is part of the city's cultural identity and how beer saved the population from epidemics, enriched the guilds and turned the city into a European benchmark.
This tour is ideal if:
- You like stories told in an engaging way
- You want authentic local recommendations
- Are you interested in Belgian beer culture?
- Are you looking for a different experience than the typical historical tour?
And yes… 🍻 it includes a Belgian beer tasting during the tour.
