Overview
Set along the Leie River, Graslei is Ghent's most beautiful street, lined with guild houses built between the 12th and 17th centuries. Het Spijker (the grain weighing house), the Free Boatmen's Guild Hall, and the Stonemasons' Guild Hall each represent Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, and together with Korenlei across the river they form Ghent's most iconic view. Sipping a beer on a riverside terrace as the buildings light up is a highlight of any Ghent visit.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours.
Travel Tips
St. Michael's Bridge offers the best photo spot to capture Graslei and Korenlei together. The lighting in the evening is especially beautiful.
