A10/15 minutes bike ride into the town from Memling. Don’t forget the oldest brewery tour. Damme about 25/30 minutes bike ride is a nice little canal village.We will be there on Thursday 15 June for 3 nights

Have to say, visited for the first time this year (July) and we loved it, every bit as nice as Bruges and much more to see. Stayed at Urban Gardens, not cheap but very adequate and convenient.We are at Ghent now at the sportpark Driebeek.
Would NEVER come back. Constant noise from the adjacent flyover, ok if you're a VERY heavy sleeper I suppose. It's a shame because the Aire itself was enclosed, clean and had everything you would need for a night. The cost was reasonable and I was surprised at how small it was when the area itself around the Aire itself could easily have accommodated many more!
Took a bus ride into the City, probably one of the most underwhelming places I've been to. The city had lots of tourists but the place was dirty and unkempt. I would have thought they would have street cleaners but the rubbish appeared to have been there for a while ..... if tourists see rubbish, perhaps it makes them more likely just to add the problem. We didn't like Ghent sorry to say!
Lots of gothic style buildings, churches, canals and a castle. They even have a free guided walking tour but it just seemed a miserable place despite the many cafes, restaurants and bars.
Perhaps I expected too much ....
Stayed there recently and we loved Ghent. As a comparison to Bruges I thought it was both bigger and nicer. The two rivers and looming castle were stunning and there were plenty of good bars and restaurants to eat at. As you say, Sportpark Driebeek could be bigger, when we were there all 8 spaces were taken and a few vans were parked up in the sports centre carpark behind but the machine was broken so it was a free night for us, and possibly another reason for it being so busy. We slept well despite the flyover nearby and it's certainly not a pretty Aire but Ghent is an LEZ and they actively discourage driving in the city centre so the location was perfect for a one night visit in my opinion.We are at Ghent now at the sportpark Driebeek.
