- Visit GentMarch 28, 2012In the only remaining almshouse in Ghent you can travel back in time. The beautifully decorated museum rooms show you how normal men (and women!) lived their everyday life in the 20th century.
The exhibitions are not really my kind of thing, but they got a great bar, a quaint inner courtyard and GREAT activities (Patersholfeesten, concerts, ...). See m.facebook.com/vriendenhuisvanalijn
