Ready for a summer city break? Book two nights this July or August at Yalo and get 10% off your stay with code YALOSUMMER10 — the perfect excuse to discover Ghent in style.
Ghent is where medieval charm meets contemporary creativity: from historic towers to buzzing food spots, edgy design boutiques and vibrant street art. Here’s your ideal three-day plan to soak it all in — with Yalo as your inspiring base.
Day 1 — Arrival & local flavours
Check in at Yalo and get settled in your boutique-style room. After dropping your bags, start your Ghent adventure on foot. Wander through the historic centre, take in the views from St. Michael’s Bridge, Belfry, … Stroll along the Graslei and Korenlei: Ghent’s postcard-perfect waterfront lined with stepped gables and lively terraces. Later in the day, recharge with an apero at the Blauwe Kiosk — a true Ghent classic — before returning to Yalo.
In the evening, enjoy a laid-back dinner at our buzzing restaurant. Let our kitchen team surprise you with creative sharing dishes and local ingredients — all paired with our signature cocktails or a good glass of wine.
Tip: Sleep tight — tomorrow is a full day of discoveries.
Day 2 — Culture, shopping & rooftop vibes
Start the day with a leisurely breakfast, then dive into Ghent’s creative side. Visit the iconic Saint Bavo’s Cathedral to admire the Mystic Lamb, explore the contemporary S.M.A.K. museum, or hunt for hidden murals on a street art tour. In the afternoon, discover Ghent’s independent shops and concept stores around the Brabantdam and Serpentstraat. Recharge with a coffee at a local café or a sweet cuberdon from a street vendor.
Tonight? Head up to Yalo’s rooftop. Order a cocktail (or two), soak in the city skyline, and let the sunset set the mood. Perfect for winding down after a full day — or for starting a new adventure into the city’s nightlife.
Day 3 — Water, food & goodbye Ghent
On your last day, see Ghent from a different perspective with a morning boat tour or rent a kayak and paddle through the canals. If you still have time, make one last stroll through the Patershol district, full of charm and narrow cobblestone streets. Return to Yalo for one final drink or a quick bite before you check out. We’ll make sure you leave with a head full of memories (and maybe already planning your next stay).
