Ghent ( Gent in Dutch, or Gand in French ) is the capital city and largest city of the East Flanders province from the Flemish region of Belgium. It is a port and university city.The beautiful city started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Lys. The Leie (Dutch and German) or Lys (French) is a 200 km long river in France and Belgium, and a left tributary of the Scheldt. Most historian believe that the older name of the town, Ganda, derives from the Celtic word "ganda", that means confluence. In 851 and 879, the city was however attacked and plundered twice by the Vikings. In the Middle Ages, Ghent was the second largest and richest city of Europe, right after Paris.
The port of Ghent, in the north of the city, is the third largest port of Belgium.Graslei ( English: Grass Quay) is a quay in the historic city center of Ghent, Belgium, located on the right bank of the Leie river. The site is considered one of the oldest of Ghent and it is a cultural and touristic hotspot of the city. The numerous parks in the city can also be considered to be tourist attractions. Most notably, Ghent boasts a nature reserve (Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen) and a recreation park (Blaarmeersen). |
