  • Festivals:


  • The Musica Antiqua Festival is a summer celebration of classical music, and gives a platform to young Flemish musicians as well established old hands of the scene. The two week festival boasts a whole host of concerts so there is plenty of opportunity to catch a bit of musical culture.

    Klinkers is a popular and slightly livelier summer festival, with lots of parties in the city's medieval squares, with many and varied styles of music, from tango to techno, as well as trendy film screenings.
