performances and exhibitions. On Sunday, there is a large flea market. The

Are you driving to Ghent? First check whether you may enter the city centre with
your vehicle. Clean vehicles may enter the city centre free of charge, polluting

Belgian or Dutch number plate? You will ALWAYS have to register!
