Shopping

There's more to the cobbled streets of Ghent than ancient and medieval buildings. In fact the city is crammed with a whole host of fantastic shopping!

Nosey Gifts

Ghent's main shops are situated in the Veldstraat area. But all over the city you'll find an interesting array of shops ranging from trendy designer clothing shops to romantic and charming gift shops selling anything from soaps to sweets. Don't miss Confiserie Temmerman, Ghent's 19th century sweet shop selling their famous 'neus'� or nose shape candy sweets.

Quirky shops

Ghent has its fair share of slightly quirky shops too! Ghent's speciality Mustard shop serving a delectable selection which can be sampled before you buy. Housed in a charming old townhouse, a visit to this quaint store is a definite must. Take a look at Priem, a real blast from the past with the most retro-seventies papers to the latest 'must-have' wall coverings.
