St. Bavo's Abbey Tours

Popular places to visit

Ganda, as Ghent was originally called, arose at the confluence of the Leie (Lys) and the Schelde (Scheldt). On that site there is now a marina for passing boat traffic: “Portus Ganda”. The Lower Scheldt has today been restored to its former glory. Bridges and parks, cosy pavement cafés and a wonderfully restored art deco swimming pool all make up one of Ghent’s beautiful (new) little corners.
