A paper or digital map with extrasOverleaf you find the basic light plan walk, along beautifully illuminated monuments, streets and waterways.

Type ‘light plan walk’ on the website www.stad.gent to find a digital map of this basic itinerary.

Every point of interest has a short description. Click through to see a picture and read further historical and technical data.

In addition, the map contains various illuminated points that stray from the basic itinerary but which you could include in your walk.

Take a walk and discover the Light PlanFeel like discovering the Ghent Light Plan in its full splendour?

Just take a stroll in the city centre after nightfall, but do it well before midnight, because then the functional lighting takes over from the atmospheric illumination.

The basic walk is about 5 km and takes two hours at most.

Guided toursYou might also want to take a guided light plan walk with one of the acknowledged guide associations in Ghent.

To see which excursions the guide associations have on offer, consult visit.gent.be/en and use the key word ‘guided tours’.
