Sometimes the most unforgettable travel moments happen in the quiet spaces between major destinations.

Ghent, to be completely honest, began as a simple choice: a convenient, short stop to break up the drive between Bruges and the coastal port of Dunkirk.

We knew very little of what to expect, but within minutes of stepping into its cobblestone core, we realized we had stumbled into somewhere truly magical.
