Good Value Drink!

The Alijn House Museum is an excellent place to visit AND it has an added extra - the cafeteria! The beer here is the cheapest that we encountered and it is served by friendly volunteers. You can visit the cafeteria without visiting the museum.
Enjoy Yourself

Ghent is filled with the best of Flanders: lovely canals, narrow streets, beautiful architecture, masterful cathedrals, ominous castles, great food, and fantastic beer. If Brugge is too crowded, Antwerp too dingy, Brussels too, er, Brussels, then get yourself to Ghent.
It's worth the trip.

Gent was built up as a textile center. Each one of the Guilds had a Guild house, and each one built a church. Here is a picture looking along St. Michael's bridge back at the town belfry, and two of the churches.
