Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful - and this is still in our DNA today. It’s more famous, picturesque, and apparently quite the spot to propose (according to a coworker and all the tourist pamphlets).Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. While I slightly preferred Ghent to Bruges (mostly due to lack of tourists), I still recommend you to see Bruges first. When we saw fruit-infused free water pitchers at LKKR, we knew we had found the right spot. You had to pay for sparkling or still water, which ended up costing more than a juice or coffee. One weird thing we noticed was that it was very difficult to get (free) tap water at restaurants throughout Belgium. We stopped for brunch (and beer of course) at LKKR, which makes a yummy avocado veggie sandwich. There are also a lot of boutiques and restaurants to check out downtown. Tyler and I didn’t take a boat ride along the waterways, but it was fun to watch the small ships sail along the canals and under willow trees. Can you believe that in the 11th-century, Ghent used to be the 2nd biggest city in Northern Europe after Paris? We could probably walk from one side to the other in less than an hour. It houses an organ that is known to be the most important romantic organ in Belgium. Saint Nicholas’ Church pictured above is one of the oldest monuments in Ghent, built in the 13th-century. Much of Ghent stayed preserved and undamaged from the wars. It’s quite cold and empty with some of the old torture chambers and devices still in place, but still magnificent to wander around in. It’s surrounded by a moat and you can even tour the 12th-century place. There aren’t a ton of tourists flocking the city, so it feels like you’re just walking among all the locals.įounded in the year 630 (!), Ghent is one of the only cities that has a castle located right in the heart of downtown. You know how everyone loves Bruges so much? Well in my opinion, Ghent is just as cute, but even more magical because nobody really knows about it. This small medieval town lies right between Brussels and Bruges. Welcome to the beautiful and charming city of Ghent.
