Ghent Audio Tour: Cathedrals, Castles & Jazz in the Heart of Centrum

Audio guide8 stops

Beneath Gent’s ornate spires and cobbled lanes lies a city of hidden power plays, rebellious crowds, and midnight melodies where every square whispers untold secrets. This self-guided audio tour turns you into an urban detective uncovering stories behind locked cathedral doors, echoing jazz beats, and centuries-old scandals that even locals overlook. Why did one emperor force the city’s proudest citizens to parade in their nightgowns in public shame? What vanished treasures are still missing from St. Bavo’s Cathedral’s vaults? And how did a near-bankrupt festival return with record-smashing crowds and legendary performers lighting up Gent’s night sky? Walk where bishops schemed, saints reformed, and wild crowds danced until dawn. Let Gent reveal its tangled web of triumphs, betrayals, and sweet musical rebellion. The story crackles beneath your feet. Curious? Let the city show you what most never see—your journey starts here.
