Back in 1353, Ghent’s weavers secured permission to build the Cloth Hall on the Vrijdagmarkt, a statement of power in a city that matched Bruges thanks to English wool and bustling fairs. Just 45 km from Bruges, Ghent concentrates heavyweights within a short stroll: the moated Castle of the Counts, the medieval quays of Graslei–Korenlei, and Van Eyck’s Adoration of the Mystic Lamb at St Bavo’s Cathedral. From St Michael’s Bridge to St Nicholas’ Church, the stepped-gable guildhouses still read like a ledger of trade and pride.
Collected from your Bruges hotel, you ride in a Mercedes with full flexibility while your dedicated driver handles the E40 hop in about 40 minutes and stays on standby between stops. You sample a cuberdon at Temmerman, climb the 66 m belfry to map the canals from above, and use a timed slot at St Bavo’s to linger before the restored Lamb panel, then pause for coffee overlooking the Graslei façades. When you’re done, the car is waiting nearby for a smooth ride back.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Book a pre-11:00 time slot at St Bavo’s and aim for Tuesday morning: thinner crowds and side light that flatters the central panels.
