Closed on Sunday Markets and shopping map Ghent for visitors There’s so much more to shopping in Ghent than this map Good idea, citytripping to Ghent. Especially when you love shopping! Ghent has Belgium’s biggest pedestrianised shopping area with loads of markets and shops. The city has all the major chain stores as well as authentic shops, trendy and more traditional places, within walking distance of one another. This map guides you to the various shopping areas, each with their own personality and includes a representative selection of typical and distinctive Ghent shops, stores and markets, which are original and just a tad different. But be sure to follow your own intuition and discover the many other surprising boutiques and gadget stores in our city. And don’t forget to share your experiences with us. Trendy Ghent This map first and foremost focuses on stores that sell authentic products, which are typical of Ghent. You won’t find any chain stores in this list. We also pay attention to those stores that are off the beaten path. The kind of stores you wouldn’t bump into. In the stores on this map you will find gifts, clothing (accessories) and souvenirs sub divided into eight categories (see below). You can also get some great deals in Ghent’s markets. Real market fans can enjoy the unique atmosphere of five typical Ghent markets during the Sunday market walk. We have indicated this walk in on the map. Exploring the ‘hoods’ Just need some inspiration? Then why not walk from one neighbourhood to the other to check out what’s available. Voldersstraat – Hoornstraat The widest cross street of Veldstraat. A variety of food stores, as well as clothing stores selling affordable fashions or couture. Henegouwenstraat Voldersstraat turns into Henegouwenstraat, where the emphasis is on luxury, regardless of the store’s speciality. Mageleinstraat – Kalandeberg – Koestraat Belgian fashions for all ages, but also a nice selection of delicatessen and sweet shops. Kortedagsteeg – Walpoortstraat – Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat Mainly fashion, casual chic for everyone, sometimes in prestigious settings, such as the Xandres flagship store, which was designed by Glenn Sestig and the fourteenth-century Wool Weavers’ Chapel with the women’s collection of McGregor. Streetwear for hipsters at one end of Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat and around the corner, in Lammerstraat. Interior design Hand-knotted rugs, furniture by contemporary international designers... you can find this and much more in the interior design shops in Ghent. Some shops are a little farther afield. Art, antiques & bric-à-brac The many galleries and antique stores in Ghent sell modern and contemporary art as well as retro design, Western and ethnic art. The art and antiques market in Bij Sint-Jacobs comes highly recommended. Many an antique lover has already walked away with a great deal! Vintage and retro The popularity of old (designer) clothes and furniture led to a boom in retro stores. Markets Brabantdam – Vlaanderenstraat – Zuid Stylish menswear and women’s fashions and original interior design stores. Shopping Centre Gent Zuid has all the usual suspects. Jan Breydelstraat – Burgstraat Definitely the place for you if you love bric-à-brac, art and antiques. Serpentstraat – Baudelostraat – Oudburg Near Vrijdagmarkt is a treasure trove of tiny stores which do not really have a common denominator. The locals love them and visitors to the city also appreciate them! Something for everyone: eight categories Langemunt – Veldstraat Traditionally the main shopping streets of Ghent with branches of small and big chains. In order to ensure that you can easily find what you are looking for we have subdivided the list of shops in the following categories. Each category has its own color. Onderbergen A pleasant, stylish shopping street, which runs parallel with Veldstraat, offering a mix of qualitative, original fashion, antiques and interior design shops as well as some nice places to lunch. Ghent specialities and souvenirs Tierenteyn mustard, mastellen and several other deliciously old-fashion sweets... Oh, the choices! For those who prefer a more lasting memento to take home, there are souvenirs abound. Bennesteeg – Sint-Niklaasstraat Fashion for everyone, but especially for children, in the streets off Veldstraat. Designer fashions Ghent is a rising star on the fashion front.
