In Ghent, Belgium for a work week + weekend, please give tips to maximise my time!
Hello everyone! I will be travelling to Ghent, Belgium for 1 week for some client workshops, I will reach on 10th Oct (saturday afternoon) and fly back on 17th oct (saturday evening). The weekdays will be spent working (although I may get some time during the evenings). I do have 2 half days and 1 full sunday to spend in/around Ghent.
I was looking for some suggestions and what all I can do in this limited time. Its my first time in Belgium too, so was thinking I can go to Brussels for a day trip, but not sure if it'll be worth it. I have heard so much about Bruge too, but again due to lack of time I dont know if its possible to actually go. Am I trying to fit too much into very little time ?
Long story short, I would love some suggestions on things I can do in Ghent (any must visits etc). I am into touristy things and open to any tours as well if worth it. Looking at a moderate budget (nothing too extravagant), and any vegetarian food spots!
I am looking to get the best Belgian experience I can get in this limited time 🙈
Thankyou very much for any suggestions!!
PS - Also adding I'm a female and will be alone, in case that's a consideration for any recommendation
