Brussels may attract most of Belgium’s tourists, but Ghent is also worth a visit. The Flemish city, which dates back to the Middle Ages, has several museums that showcase the history of Flemish art, while the Ghent City Museum reveals its past and legacy. On the culinary side, this is your best bet for a vegetarian vacation: Ghent has the most vegetarian spots per capita in Europe and promotes a meat-free day on Thursdays. Some of the most popular restaurants include Avalon, Komkommertijd, and Greenway Foods. The city, known for its beer, also has several noted cocktail dens worth visiting, including The De Alchemist, The Mosquito Coast, and basement speakeasy The Old Fashioned.
