点评:What a brilliant city, loaded with history and fantastic architecture. We opted to base ourselves in Ghent with the proviso that we would also make trips to Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels.
Arriving via Eurostar into Brussels midi, it left a 30 minute train journey to Gent St. Peters. We then took an uber to our hotel, the Comic Art Hotel (see separate review there).
All other times we were going to or from the station we did so by Tram, 3 euros per adult, the kids were free (a massive bonus). Likewise the trains the kids travelled free on. I used the SNBC travel app, coupled up with Train+ subscriptions which gave us reduced train travel.
Ghent itself is so easy to get around, now I should add that we did have a buggy/pram with us, but we managed, although Ghent is cobbled pretty much everywhere.
I didn't find that eating out was particularly inexpensive, but no more so than I'd expect in the UK.
The number of beers available was incredible too, I can't remember the number mentioned by one of the boatmen - but it was over 1000. I managed to try 16 of them - so we'll just have to go again :-).
We visited all of the churches and cathedrals which I have to say were stunning. Likewise we did the belfry visit, and also Gravensteen - both of which were free for the kids and good value for the two of us. As it was easter at the Belfry there was a challenge to find a dragons egg - which the kids were both rewarded with a dragon pin badge.
Otomat Pizza was the pick of the bunch for me when it came to eating out, great service, good ambience, great food and awesome beer!
If you do have younger kids, then I'd recommend the Fosfar Dragon app, which keeps them amused with games and puzzles as you make your way around the city.
If you have any questions then feel free to drop me a message/comment.
翻译:根特真是一座令人惊艳的城市,历史悠久,建筑精美绝伦。我们选择以根特为据点,并计划前往布鲁日、安特卫普和布鲁塞尔游览。
我们乘坐欧洲之星抵达布鲁塞尔南站,然后转乘火车30分钟到达根特圣彼得火车站。之后,我们叫了一辆优步前往酒店——漫画艺术酒店(详见酒店评论)。
之后,我们往返火车站都乘坐有轨电车,成人票价3欧元,儿童免费(这真是个巨大的福利)。儿童乘坐火车也同样免费。我使用了SNBC旅行应用程序,并订阅了Train+会员服务,享受了火车票折扣。
根特市内交通非常便利。需要补充的是,我们当时带着婴儿车,但出行依然轻松,尽管根特几乎所有道路都是鹅卵石铺成的。
我觉得外出就餐并不算特别便宜,但和英国其他地方的价格差不多。
啤酒的种类也多得惊人,我记不清船夫说的有多少种了——反正超过1000种。我尝了其中16种——看来我们得再去一次了 :-)。
我们参观了所有的教堂和大教堂,不得不说,它们真是美极了。我们还去了钟楼和格雷文斯汀城堡——这两个地方对孩子们都是免费的,对我们两个人来说也很划算。因为当时正值复活节,钟楼里有个寻找龙蛋的挑战——孩子们都找到了,并获得了一枚龙形徽章作为奖励。
说到外出就餐,我最喜欢的是Otomat Pizza,服务一流,氛围很好,食物美味,啤酒也很棒!
如果您有年纪较小的孩子,我推荐 Fosfar Dragon 这款应用,它能通过游戏和谜题让他们在您游览城市时玩得开心。
