EXPLORING GHENT, BELGIUM - Waterzooi & Steak Frites, Gravensteen, Cathedral & Belfry Tower
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Ghent is one of the most beautiful cities in Belgium, and we can't wait to show you around! We start off by taking a tour of the Gravensteen Castle, then on to the infamous Graffiti Street of Werregarenstraat. Next up is a quick wander around St Bavo's Cathedral before we finally get some tasty food! We had Belgium's favourite Steak Frites and Ghent's famous dish of Waterzooi, they were both incredible! We end the day up the Belfry Tower in the centre of Ghent, overlooking the whole city.

Glad to see you guys tasted some real belgian food. Way too many folks think we only have fries waffles and chocolate. But Belgian food is horribly misunderstood by allmost every foodblogger out there..
Wonderful to see you enjoy the Belgian food, Belgians put a lot of love in their food.
It was soooo nice!
It's my hometown and it's such a great place to live in. Love to see that you guys enjoyed it as much as you did! Happy to see that more and more people are discovering Ghent rather then only visiting Bruges and Brussels because there is so much more to Belgium.
I've been to all three of those and Antwerp - which other cities would you recommend? :) I was thinking of going to Leuven or Mechelen, perhaps, but I would love to hear your suggestions :)
as a person of Ghent I'm happy to see that other people also like everything here
Hi Delphine! Next year I'm going to Erasmus to Ghent, and I write to you to have a contact of someone from there! hope you answer me!
I was born in Ghent and with my parents immigrated to the USA as a young child. Later in life, while in the USAF and living in Germany visited Ghent and Belgium several times as I still have family living in Belgium. 39 years later, we came back with our grandchildren to visit family and see where grampa came from. My daughter, son in law, and grandkids love Ghent! Well Done!! 👍🍻🇧🇪😘
Love that castle...and the top view..
I have to visit Ghent and tour Belgium! But it is a long trip from my home in California. I'll get there some day.
I just looooove my city and I am always happy when someone else loves it as well❤️
Thank you for being so nice about my hometown!
Hey guys 😊 we booked a trip to Ghent this morning and just found your video! It's got us really excited, thanks for sharing! (new subscribers now 😊) Mac & Sarah

Hope you had a great time!
I live in gent for 19 years now. I still often go on vacation in gent :p .
You two are delightful!
Great video. Guys. I will definitely follow you. I love the beer in Belgium also. That’s worth the trip alone
Thanks Uncle Chuckles!
Nice one guys, loved the castle walk-through and that stew looked sooooo good. Where's smellyvision when you need it 😁😉👍
Thanks James!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! The castle looks absolutely beautiful! And can you go wrong with Belgian food?!? So good :)
Thanks for watching Norbert and Kayla! And you can never go wrong with Belgian food haha.
Best guide for Ghent! One of the only videos that shows Gravensteen Castle, which is the best tourist attraction I have ever been to (comedy auto tour). I also tried Waterzooi and it was so good I had it the next night too! Thanks!
Awesome video 👍
Me ha encantado tu vídeo. Like
Great video guys. What’s the walk like from st pieters station?? Or did you go to dam port station?
I love your video! I am coming to Gent this November to pursue my PhD! Which is why I was checking out the videos of Gent! Thanks for the lovely coverage :)
Great to see you guys loving Ghent! The stu-meat sauce is made with dark ale and syrup ;)
I’m going to Ghent next week 👌❤️
My birthplace
I will visit Ghent soon, I am so excited because it seems to be a very nice city !
I just was an afternoon Ghent and really enjoyed the City Museum.
We've booked3 nights in Ghent in August and I cannot wait! Did you consider getting the city pass whilst there? Also, does the city light up like Brussels at night time? Enjoying your videos - we're doing z4 nights in Paris so will watch those next!
That's so cool, glad you're enjoying the videos. Ghent is one of our favourite cities, we've just always enjoyed our time there. We actually didn't look at the city pass, but that may be a good idea. The city is beautiful at night, there are definitely lights on but I can't remember if it's similar to Brussels. Thanks for watching!
lovely video, I live in Gent and you are right its an amazing city
Thanks Abdel!
i also live in ghent!
hope i can visit gent
Wittekerke is a fictitious Belgian coastal resort in a Flemish TV soap with the same name.This series ran for 15 years on VTM from 1993 till 2008 . The beer was an agreement between brewer Bavik and the TV producers.
No way! Haha, that's awesome!
What a beautiful city! What was the big barrel @11:00 ?
Thanks guys, we love Ghent! The big barrel plays the strings for the music, so cool.
You two work well together and it looks like you truly enjoy each others company. Great insight to the city. There is something called The Gent Card you can get if your a tourist. It's 30 Euros but you get into all tourists spots for 48hrs, free public transportation and a free bicycle rental for 24 hrs. If you are going to be doing the touristy thing it seems well worth it. Thanks for your video.
Glad you loved Ghent 😁😁👍
Nice, thanks for sharing , I willbe on Octuber 2 days in Bruges, how far is Ghent from there, I will take one to see thie place, is enough?
Ghent is only a 30 minute train journey away, a day should be enough for you to see the main sights!
Nice video, well done ;-)
What restaurant did you eat at in the video? My family is traveling to Ghent in December and would love to try the meal you suggested, Thanks!

When i was a little kid i always go to Graven steen (the Castle in the video) and i always runing above and looking to city my city
We're spoiled in Belgium. I live about 20' drive from Ghent and studied there for 3years. If there is one town in Belgium I could see myself living, it would be Ghent for sure. I would'nt say forget Bruges, but Ghent is more vivid and authentic to me. And the food, well you can't go wrong with any food really, in Belgium. Good choices, the Waterzooi en de Stoverij (stew) ;-). Beer...well you really need to step out of that Witbeer thing and discover a whole new universe ;-). Cheers
You both are so cute and I like your videos so much! I love you both!
Thank you so much Michelle!
very good video, very useful! Can you write the name of the restaurant? looks very tasty 😁
I miss be în Gent!!!
So do we!
great video guys
Thanks so much!
I'm expecting to come in Belgium on September
hey thanks for the info guys we're visiting this place next week ! but how much is the food cost ? i heard it's expensive compare to other European countries :-(
Turkisch restaurants are about 10-12€ pp without drinks. Belgian restaurants 20€ pp. And if you want to splash it, on the other side of the castel there's an argentine restaurant called pampas rodisio. It's 30€ all you can eat and it's amazing if you love Meat.
Thanks for that ! cool vlog by the way !
Hey! It's expensive compared to Eastern Europe, but very similar in cost to other Western European countries like the UK, France & Germany. You can eat out 15 euros a person, but as always supermarkets are pretty cheap. Have a great time!
Would love to know the name of the restaurant you had the Waterzooi will be in Ghent in July 2020
There Will be a great party in the whole of belgium in juli. Especialy 12&13 juli.
Were you eligible for student discounts with the regular US. student IDs? I heard of the international student card but was hoping the University given ID's of the US worked.
A University ID should be fine - but we can't verify 100%
it should be a beer stew sauce
Min 4:48 is Sint Baafs kathedraal
Absolutely loved this video, I just posted a similar one. Gent really is beautiful.
Awesome!
language tip: Waterzooi pronounce the a short and ooi a bit lik (b)oy - ex. hooi (straw) like hoy - dutch is not the most difficult language in the world but fairly complex with the vowel sounds one of the most practice required. Keep on exploring (in general)!
us people from Ghent don't really eat waterzooi , we rather have the Stoverij met frieten (beer stew with fries)
I can’t believe you guys did not even addressed one of the best painting that can only be found in St. Bavo’s Cathedral .
The wheat beer is poured horribly 😨 needs more foam 🙈
say what? waterzowi? :p
Do people speak English in general?
+
Waterzooi is fk bad
Most info is wrong..
