Wednesday 13th August 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

There’s more to Belgium than Bruges and Brussels! If it’s canals, chocolate, beer and beautiful architecture you’re after how about medieval Ghent – do something different this summer from just £179 per person for 3 nights, with the third night free.

Enjoy a refreshing Belgian beer in one of the café’s lining Ghent’s beautiful canal, or see the city from the water with a relaxing river cruise.
Explore 13th century Ghent with a visit to the city’s gothic Cathedral which proudly displays Hubert and Jan van Eyck’s famous altarpiece “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb”.

Indulge your sweet tooth in one of Ghent’s many old fashioned snoepwinkels (sweet shops) where you can indulge in such delicacies as Neuzen (noses), Poepkes (little buttocks) and Nonnenbillen (nuns’ thighs).
