And the most vegetarian restaurants in the world (per capita)
The medieval city of Ghent in the northern part of Belgium is a quaint, but rather large city. It should be a tourist stop on everyone’s agenda.
Here’s a little more information about Ghent and Belgium. . .
During the Middle Ages, Ghent was a prominent city-state. Today, it is a university town and cultural hub.
With a population of almost 600,000, it ranks as Belgium’s second-largest city behind Brussels. It is located about 35 miles west of Brussels and southwest of Antwerp. It sits at the confluence of the Schledt and Leie Rivers which made it one of the largest and richest cities in northern Europe back in the 1300s.
Belgium’s currency is the Euro and they are known best for creating French Fries or their superb beer.
Although there is not much of a nature scene in the city of Ghent, you can find better nature south of Ghent.
