Ghent
The best way to enjoy this charming Flemish city is to do as the locals do, and pull up a seat at a riverside cafe.
About
Settled since pre-history, it was the Romans who laid the foundations for the thriving city Ghent would become. The city developed into a major medieval trade center, though began a slow decline after King Charles V was born here in 1500. It wasn’t until the 18th century, and an industrial boom that the city would be revived. Today, visitors can enjoy this Flemish gem’s rich heritage in the city’s many architectural monuments, including several ancient churches, an opulent opera house, the imposing Gravensteen Castle, and UNESCO-listed bell tower. To truly experience the city’s charm, find a seat on the Graslei, a picturesque spot in the town center, with views of the many bridges, grand houses, and medieval buildings.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
