When to visit Ghent?

The best time to visit Belgium is generally summer, which runs from June to August. Temperatures are pleasant, fluctuating between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius during the day, so you can make the most of outdoor activities. What's more, this is also the period when rainfall is at its lowest, with very little falling. The days are longer, giving you more time to explore the country's many tourist attractions.

On the other hand, the worst time to travel in Belgium is winter, particularly from December to February. Average temperatures are cold, ranging from 0 to 6 degrees Celsius, with frequent periods of frost. Precipitation often turns to snow, making for picturesque winter landscapes. However, it is important to note that weather conditions can be changeable and Belgian winters can sometimes be mild and rainy.
