Ghent (sometimes spelled Gent) once attributed its fame to its status as the largest cloth producer in all of Europe. Now, it is full of students on the quest for knowledge. Gravensteen, also known as Count's Castle, is located at the center of the town. Once upon a time, it was a fearsome place complete with turrets, moats, and capabilities for defense. Today's museum holds many of the swords and weapons of torture that were so popular back in the day.

Cinquantenaire Museum, the Royal Museum of Art and History, showcases thousands of artifacts that date back to olden times. Much of the collections housed here include art, jewelry, crafts, and even funeral gifts.

Menin Gate is honored with a bugler's call every evening in remembrance of the British and Commonwealth troops who lost their lives during WWII. Their final resting place is unknown.
