Local information :

During the Middle Ages, Ghent was one of the richest and most powerful cities in Europe.
It was once considered the second largest city north of the Alps, after Paris.
The impact of this rich past can be clearly seen when viewing the imposing architecture of churches and the houses of rich traders.
The whole of the city center is restored in this fashion, and still breathes the atmosphere of a thriving late-medieval city state.
As the city council made the center free of cars, it is now a very welcoming and open area, which does not fail to impress even the people who live there.
Unlike Leuven, another university town in Flanders, youth is not the only category of people living there.
There is an interesting mixture of foreigners who came to live there, or artists, among the native people of Ghent.
This mixture makes the people more tolerant and open-minded.
This atmosphere seeps into every aspect of city life more than the smaller provincial cities or the bigger city of Antwerp.
The Facility situates in the middle of the historical centre.
We also have a private E-parking spot which is rare in the center.
Steps and bikes (paid service) are available to discover the wider area
