Just about every town in Flanders has swimming facilities, and most have that little extra something, be it an elaborately decorated, Art Nouveau bath house, a scenic outdoor bathing spot or the world's deepest diving pool.
Once a week, from eight in the morning until the late afternoon, the Kouter in Ghent is overflowing with flower and plant vendors. While most flower markets in Belgium are a combination of food and flowers or plants and clothing, Ghent's market focuses simply on all things green and growing. This flower market is the only one of its kind in all of Flanders and this exclusivity is for good reason: only the best are sold here.
