Guido Gezelleplein (Guido Gezelle Square)

Even if you’ve never heard of Guido Gezelle, the famous Flemish poet-priest, it’s impossible to miss his statue in this splendid spot. The immense tower of the Church of Our Lady rises right in front of you, and from your seat on a bench you can admire the Gruuthuse Museum and its contemporary reception pavilion. A Flemish square with a very cosmopolitan air. And a great place to rest right in the centre.
