Designer fashionsGhent is a rising star on the fashion front.

Prominent Belgian brands, as well as up-and-coming talent from Belgium and abroad are given a platform here.

You often best remember the ‘small experien-ces’ in a city. Ghent is really the place to go if you like a taste of what’s on offer, along with the locals. The Friday and weekend markets also play an important role in colouring your experience.
A KouterIf you want to meet the locals then head over to the Sunday flower market. Enjoy a deli-cious espresso at La Dolce Barista on arrival and end your visit with a fresh oyster and a glass of white wine at the Blue Kiosk.
b Oude BeestenmarktOn Sunday morning you will find chickens, rabbits and other small pets looking for new owners. What a contrast with the atmosphere a few hours earlier. Several well-known rock bands have their rehearsal spaces above the many trendy bars.
c Bij Sint-Jacobs and BeverhoutpleinEvery Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning the bric-à-brac market invades Bij Sint-Jacobs square and market stalls turn this square into a paradise for treasure hunters. You can also browse several stores in the surrounding streets if you haven’t found that bargain!
d Vrijdagmarkt This large open market square has been buzzing with activity for centuries. Every Friday morning and Saturday afternoon hawkers peddle their wares here. On Sunday early birds literally (!) show off their colourful plumage and singing skills.
E GroentenmarktThe small farmer’s market on Friday morning mainly sells organic vegetables and fruit. But you can also buy bread and organic cheeses here. On Sundays local artists sell decorative items or other creations here.
f AjuinleiBook stalls along the water. No, this is not Paris. It’s only a small step from flowers to books in Ghent on a Sunday morning.
