I Visited Ghent at the Wrong Time… And LOVED IT (Gentse Feesten Week in July)

Описание: I went looking for a quiet medieval city... and walked straight into a massive 10-day street party. 🇧🇪

After three exhausting days at Tomorrowland, I traveled to Ghent, Belgium, expecting a peaceful, historic old town. Instead, I arrived right in the middle of the Gentse Feesten (Ghent Festival)—a massive annual event that completely transforms the city every July!
