Graslei, Riverside streets in Ghent, Belgium.

The Graslei and Korenlei form parallel quays along the Leie River, featuring a collection of medieval guild houses with stepped gable roofs.

During the Middle Ages, these streets functioned as the central port of Ghent, where merchants conducted trade in grain, salt, and textiles.

The preserved facades of guild houses display the architectural evolution from the 13th to 17th centuries, representing different periods of Flemish construction techniques.

Visitors can explore both sides of the waterfront on foot and find numerous restaurants offering Belgian cuisine with outdoor seating facing the river.

The reflection of the medieval buildings in the water creates mirror images that double the visual impact of the historical architecture.
