Ghent (Gent) is Belgium’s canal-laced university city where medieval towers rise above lively squares. Between the Graslei and Korenlei quays, the Gravensteen castle, and a buzzing food-and-beer scene, it’s easy to fill a full day between trains. Leave your luggage with Radical Storage and roam the car-light historic centre, pop into museums, and linger at riverside cafés—hands-free.

Where to Store Your Bags (by Area)
Gent City Center (Korenmarkt & Graslei)
Base yourself by Ghent’s postcard canals and guild houses. This central zone is ideal for sightseeing, shopping streets, boat tours, and evening restaurants—without hauling bags over narrow cobbles.
Gravensteen & Patershol
Store bags near Gravensteen and dive into Patershol’s medieval lanes. You’ll be steps from cosy bistros, hidden courtyards, and an easy walk to the city’s famous Three Towers.
Sint-Pieters Station District
Perfect for early trains or day trips. Leave luggage near Gent‑Sint‑Pieters, then take a quick tram to the historic centre, Citadelpark museums, or leafy neighbourhood cafés.
Dampoort & Portus Ganda
Handy for arrivals from Antwerp and the east. Drop luggage near Dampoort, then stroll to Portus Ganda’s marina, waterside paths, and quieter canal corners away from peak crowds.
Sint-Baafs & Belfry Area
Keep things light around St Bavo’s Cathedral, the Belfry, and nearby viewpoints. It’s a great base for quick photo stops, museums, and a short walk back to the rivers.
Citadelpark & Museum Quarter
Ideal for MSK, SMAK, and green-space breaks. Stash your bags nearby, wander the park paths, then loop back toward the centre for cafés, markets, and tram connections.
