The Ghent Christmas Market spreads across the historical city centre of Ghent, Belgium with over 150 wooden stalls. Starting at Sint-Baafsplein, the market extends along Botermarkt and Klein Turkije to Korenmarkt, with Christmas decorations throughout the area.
Stalls sell snacks, drinks, crafts, and gift items. The market atmosphere includes fir and pine trees, with the smell of mulled wine in the air. Visitors can also enjoy the Ferris wheel, explore the Winter Wonderland Castle, or go ice skating at the rink. Click here for more winter activities in Ghent!
