Unusual Things to do in Ghent – Dancing in the Street

It is without a doubt one of the coolest places in Belgium. Therefore it is no surprise that you will find some unusual things to do in Ghent. Running and dancing (“rancing”) in the street for example and creating a party as you slowly scratch the surface of this eclectic city. Ghent lies at the confluence of the rivers Lys (Leie) and Scheldt (Schelde) and is the capital of the Flemish province of East Flanders. With 1 hour or less to other major Belgian cities by train, Ghent makes an ideal day trip from Brussels, Bruges or Antwerp.
