Filmmaker Nic Balthazar takes you on an intriguing tour of Ghent. The 'Arteveldestad' - as Ghent is alternatively known - has so many hidden treasures, amazing spots and buildings where most tourists never venture.

You can discover these gems using your mobile city guide. The city guide is a sort of tele-time machine that takes you on a real journey through time. You can also use it to look through walls and even under the ground, into the vaults below St. Bavo Square. There you will be able to uncover secrets and tales from past and present alike.

How can you tell how old a building is? What are the mysterious messages hidden in the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb? What are Kannenpissers? You'll find out the answer to all these questions during the tour! The stroppendragers - Dutch for 'noose bearers' and the nickname for Ghent's residents - are a hard nut to crack, but the city and its residents are still worth every bit of the effort.
