Brussels to Ghent

Belgium is a perfect bike country. Flat roads, beautiful bike paths and friendly people. Our ride from Brussels to Ghent was so delightful. We arrived in Ghent with enough time to explore the town, which we fell in love with. We hurried to the cathedral to see the Mystic Lamb but the room with the painting closed an hour before the cathedral. So we enjoyed the cathedral and made a plan to see the painting in the morning before leaving town. We spent the evening  wandering the streets and enjoying charming Ghent.

Ghent Altarpiece - You must see this!

We did stop at the cathedral before leaving town to see this masterpiece. The painting is breathtaking and truly a marvel. Read more about the history of the painting before visiting to truly appreciate what a work of art this is. https://www.thecollector.com/the-ghent-altarpiece/
