Sint-Amandsberg Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The Campo Santo in Sint-Amandsberg (Ghent) is a Roman Catholic cemetery. Numerous renowned painters, sculptors and writers went to their final resting place on this 19 metre-high burial mound. However, they had to share it with the traditional Catholic bourgeoisie of Ghent who paid a lot of money to have splendidly sculpted tombs and family vaults installed there. #Ghent

Pretty new, clean, and a great location. Close to public transport but I can’t imagine having a car here. Modern design but one side of the bed had a tiny “nightstand” with an outlet but nothing at all on the other side

Dampoortwijk

While Dampoortwijk may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like St. Bavo's Abbey and Portus Ganda.

Dampoortwijk
This was my favourite place to visit in Ghent. I could have taken pictures all day in the ruin of St. Bavo's Abbey. An quiet oasis in the city, we were the only people there. So quiet and serene and many courtyards to explore including a medieval church. Founded in the 7th century, the former abbey is now ruins echoing the history that took place here. The oldest wall in Ghent stands here. The original Romanesque church that was destroyed is marked out by lovely hedges so you can see where it once stood as the five-metre-high shrubbery columns mark out the foundations. Entry was free.
