STAM
Ghent city museum
"STAM" is Ghent's city museum. It's located in the old abbey. I must say, if you haven't been to this museum, you haven't been in Ghent!

MSK
Museum voor Schone Kunsten

St Peter's Abbey
The Ghent vineyards
"St Peter's Abbey" in Ghent is one of the city's two beer-producing abbeys. I find it the perfect place to chill out and try many kinds of Belgian beer.
