Ghent

Ghent is a beautiful city in Belgium. It takes around an hour to reach there by rail from Luxembourg and costs about £20 for a roundtrip ticket. You can also drive there, but it will take over three hours. There are numerous things to do after you arrive, such as visiting the many castles, architecture, and breathtaking views. Gravensteen Castle, a medieval castle dating back to 1180, is one castle you can see. After being restored in 1893-1903, this castle is now a museum and a key municipal icon, and it is truly stunning. It is approximately an 8-minute walk from the center of Ghent.

Climbing to the top of Ghent Belfry, a World Heritage Site and medieval tower that overlooks the city, is another adventure you can do in Ghent. It is located just east of Ghent's center and takes only 7 minutes to walk there, making it yet another location that is quite accessible. Driving to this tower from the center will actually take longer. To round up the day, head to Korenmarkt for some excellent food and Belgian waffles.
