Hey everyone!

Just want to quickly check - I have already booked a place in a lovely B&B in Ghent that comes highly recommended on the forums, but now I have recently read that there are a lot of construction work in Ghent at the moment. I have found a nice place in Brugge as well and just want to know which town you would recommend?

I have been to both before and each town has a particular charm, so it's literally just a case of construction work that is bothering me. We will in any case be going to both towns. Our dates are 19-22 September.

Thanks
M

if you've been before then you know the answer.

Have you been to both before, or have you stayed in both before? I would personally pick Brugge, as I think it's absolutely magical at night when most of the day tripping tourists have left. The buildings along the canals are lit up and are beautiful.

wobbers - I think Martine200 was inquiring about the construction in Ghent and its potential impact on his/her trip.

Thanks LittleA - that is exactly what I am trying to find out. If anyone has been there recently could you give me some info on all this construction going on?

Thanks Michael - also stumbled onto that earlier this morning!

The construction works were supposed to be finished by the start of the Gentse Feesten. They started last Saturday, the 17th. I haven't been there myself but a friend of mine living near Gent confirmed that the roadworks have indeed been finished.
