WHY GENT…
Gent, Belgium, is a dream destination for HYROX-ers looking for a mix of history, adventure and vibrant city life. This dynamic university city offers a perfect balance between medieval charm and a buzzing modern atmosphere, making it an exciting alternative to more tourist-heavy European destinations.
One of Gent’s biggest draws is its walkability and bike-friendly infrastructure. The historic centre is largely car-free, allowing visitors to roam freely among stunning Gothic architecture, lively squares and scenic canals. For those who love cycling, renting a bike is the best way to explore the city like a local. Ride along the picturesque Graslei and Korenlei streets or venture to the nearby Blaarmeersen recreation area for an active outdoor escape.
Gent is home to a wealth of historical sites, including the imposing Gravensteen Castle, where travellers can immerse themselves in medieval history. The Belfry of Ghent offers panoramic views of the city for those willing to climb its 91-metre tower. Art lovers shouldn’t miss the MSK Museum or the Street Art Route, which showcases Ghent’s vibrant graffiti scene.
After a day of exploring or taking part in your event, HYROX-ers can enjoy Gent’s energetic nightlife. The city has countless cosy bars, riverside cafés and affordable clubs thanks to its large student population. Try a local Belgian beer at one of the historic taverns or taste the famous Cuberdon candy from street vendors.
For those seeking an adventure-packed, culture-rich city with a laid-back yet lively vibe, Gent is a must-visit destination. It’s the perfect place to explore, experience, and enjoy!
