Ghent Self Guided Walking Tour Rebels, Dragons and Secret

About this experience

In Ghent, calling someone a noose bearer is a compliment. A stolen masterpiece has been missing for nearly a century, and a detective is still assigned to the case. Students once seized a medieval castle because beer went up by one franc. This is not a typical European city. This self guided audio tour takes you through 18 stops across Ghent's historic centre, from the world's most stolen painting at Saint Bavo's Cathedral to guild houses where merchants claimed first pick of every passing cargo. You'll hear the dragon legend atop the Belfry, walk through ever changing street art in Graffiti Street, and end at a cannon named after a woman fierce enough to storm Hell. Three kilometres. Two and a half hours. Eighteen stories you won't find in a guidebook. Start anytime, pause whenever you like, and go at your own pace. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self guided tours. The tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
