Ghent welcomes the festive season with its Christmas market. Visitors wander among the wooden huts in search of decorations, food and gifts serenaded by a choir singing carols. Live jazz, folk and rock performances also features around the ice rink. Visitors are entertained by choirs singing carols and you may wish to cruise along the waterways of the old town, an ideal way to sit back, relax and discover Ghent’s many charms. The town with its quaint cobbled streets and winding rivers was very wealthy in medieval times, as it was Europe’s largest cloth producer and the continent’s largest city outside of Paris.
An original marble staircase leads to 49 good sized, simply furnished bedrooms and a buffet style breakfast is served in the pleasant breakfast room. Among other gems are craft items, which often make ideal Christmas presents, as well as Christmas decorations and other trinkets. Markets are very beautifully decorated, the preparation of decorating these markets starts before a week.
