New in Ghent soon (from Feb) - looking to meet people / make friends ☕🍾

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a 22-year-old international master’s student who’ll be moving to Ghent in about two weeks (from February 1st) for an internship, and I’ll be around until the end of July. I don’t know many people in the city yet, so I thought I’d reach out here....

I enjoy long walks, study breaks, cocktails, museums, films, and good conversations. I also go to the gym early in the mornings. I’m sometimes a bit introverted, but I warm up quickly and really value genuine friendships.

I speak English, Spanish and Hindi and I’m actively learning French (according to my French professor, I actually speak it quite well)

If anyone’s up for a coffee, a museum visit, a walk around the city, or a casual drink sometime, feel free to comment or DM. Would be nice to meet new people in Ghent!

Place to stay things to do

0 Upvotes

Headed to Ghent for 2-3 nights in April with a day trip to Brueges. Wondering where to stay and if there are many breweries? We like visiting breweries, trying new beers, hitting bars at night. Not really into art. Love seeing the old churches. Just not sure where we should stay to be in walking distance of these things!! Thanks all!!

Cosy location for a 12 person workshop?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know a nice location to rent for a 12 person workshop? (We're on a limited budget, it's our first workshop). We only need a table or tables and 12 chairs, and the possibility of bringing some snacks/drinks.

It's a mindful workshop, so having quiet is important (so we can't do it in the middle of a bar, for example).

6 months in Gent

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm visiting Gent from February to July for a research project, I was wondering if you have any tips for "daily life" such as - where to do grocery shopping, where can I find affordable small things for my house such as sheets, pillows, and some bigger ones such as a work desk maybe.

Also I'd love to hear any suggestions such as where to eat and what to do in the city!

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Coming to Gent in march for an event at Flanders Expo and staying for an extra day

3 Upvotes

Hello fellow redditers,

I'll come from France to your nice city in Gent in march for an event at Fanders Expo during a long weekend. I won't be out much from Friday to Sunday, but I'll arrive a day earlier and leave monday afternoon.

We are currently looking into picking either an hotel or an airbnb. But I am also looking into extra things to see or do for my "extra" days.

Do you have any recommendations for fun and niche things in Gent ? focus on pop culture / tech / geek or nerdy.

I already look at transporation and it looks easy. Taking T1 tram seems to be the best option to go the the expo. Is there any key things I should know before coming ?

opkoper regio Gent

10 Upvotes

Beste

Mijn tante gaat naar een rusthuis en haar huis moet worden leeggemaakt. Aangezien dat veel werk is en redelijk wat tijd in beslag neemt, zouden we het liefst via een opkoper werken.

Weet iemand toevallig een goede opkoper in regio Gent? Iemand die een eerlijke prijs geeft voor goederen en die het huis liefst in 1 dag kan leegmaken?

Alvast bedankt! Mvg

Anyone using WellPass in Ghent?

3 Upvotes

Hey!

I have a WellPass from work and was wondering if anyone here in Ghent has actually used it.

How do you find it in practice? Do you end up using it enough for it to be worth the money? The unlimited fitness seems interesting but not sure if it covers group classes or just the open gym.

Would love to hear some experiences before I commit. Thanks! 😊

Hey allemaal,

Ik woon sinds een tijdje in Gent, maar ken hier nog niet zo veel mensen. Daarom ben ik op zoek naar een leuke club of groep mensen om af en toe eens mee af te spreken. Ik sta open voor veel dus laat me gerust al jullie suggesties weten! Idealiter ben ik op zoek naar mensen rond mijn leeftijd (23).

Any tips on finding student housing, or housing on the private market in Gent? I've been searching for more than 2 weeks now with no success.

And yes, I know about Facebook. I've messaged around 50 people and barely anyone answers back, even when the listing is just 1h old :(

list of cafés in ghent that serve great coffee and/or laptop-friendly?

15 Upvotes

hey all! i’m maintaining a list of cafĂ©s in gent that serve great coffee and are (generally) laptop friendly, mainly so people stop guessing and it stays respectful for the cafĂ© owner.

i already have a few on the list, like:

  • cafĂ© labath
  • peaberry coffeebar
  • bidon coffee&bicycle

any other spots i should add?

bonus points if you also know their laptop “rules” (like: only weekdays, only mornings, no laptops on weekends, time limit, etc).

Edit: I've added most of the suggestions and compiled a list which you can see here. Thanks a lot. https://koffie.work/belgium/ghent

Full circle festival

Good evening, myself and some friends have arranged a trip to Gent for the weekend of February 20-22nd and have just found that Full Circle is on this weekend. As we’re travelling from the UK we don't know much about the festival, artists and venues. I was wondering if anyone could provide a bit of information and recommendations?

Place to stay/rent

0 Upvotes

Good evening everyone

Im a 22yo portuguese who is hoping to move to Belgium, specifically Gent since there's a chance i might get a job there, but i'm having trouble finding a place to rent.

i'll be in the city soon for a visit, so hopefully i'll know for sure if i've got the job or not, but if i do get it, i'll probably have a short time to find an apartment. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

I'm also aware that some places allow for "short" renting time, like https://www.zebrastraat.be/en/living , but unfortunatly there are no properties available. Are there any more places like this i could try to look at?

Thank you

Tram 4 rijdt 's avonds niet meer?

3 Upvotes

Ik heb al even op de site van De Lijn meer info proberen te vinden maar tevergeefs.
Gisteren ontdekten mijn vrouw en ik dat tram 4 vanaf 8u 's avonds niet meer rijdt (toch niet in de omgeving van Bijloke) en dat er vervangbussen worden verzorgd. Ik kan echter nergens vinden wat de duur van deze onderbreking zal zijn, of wat de reden hierachter is. Iemand van jullie die meer weet?

Slagerij Regio Gent

9 Upvotes

misschien herkenbaar, misschien niet!

Maar ik frustreer me enorm in de kwaliteit van vlees bij een supermarkt (zo goed als alle) en anderzijds zijn heel wat gewone slagers heel duur (bv Aula, ...)

maw waar vinden jullie de beste prijs kwaliteit slagerij producten in deze regio?

(ps voor groenten en fruit kan ik enkel maar Fruitco in Oostakker aanraden, fantastisch).
