Summer in Ghent is wonderful, but we all need a little refreshment every now and then. Luckily, the city is filled with places where you can escape the heat while making the most of your day.
Fancy a dip? Discover Ghent’s outdoor swimming spots, such as Blaarmeersen, visit one of the indoor pools, like the Art Deco Van Eyck swimming pool, or rent a kayak and explore the city from the water. If you prefer to stay dry, wander through one of the city’s beautiful museums. Shade and culture guaranteed. You can also visit temporary exhibitions, such as C’est Party at Huis van Alijn, focusing on one hundred years of Flemish and Brussels nightlife. Or head to Kunsthal Gent for Untitled (Plot for Dialogue), where artist Asad Raza invites you to experience art in an active way. Looking to relax? Find a cool spot in one of Ghent’s parks or hop aboard a boat tour for a refreshing perspective on the historic city centre.
If you’re working through the summer, there’s no need to suffer in a warm office either. The air-conditioned meeting rooms at Yalo offer a comfortable setting for productive meetings and cool ideas before heading out to enjoy the city. And when you’re ready for the perfect break, head up to the Yalo Rooftop. Cooling misting sprays, refreshing cocktails, light summer bites and panoramic views are sure to make even the hottest summer day enjoyable.
