Ghent - Amigos Day Trip from Antwerp - Boat tour, bites & pub crawl

Amigos Day Trip: Ghent by Boat & by Bar 🚆⛵🍻
Ghent is only an hour from Antwerp, and on Saturday we're going together. We'll see the city from the water, grab dinner and then do a small pub crawl through some of Ghent's most legendary bars. Come alone, leave with amigos.
NOTE: Some of us will make a night out of it - but if you feel going home earlier or with the last train - I am sure some other amigos are in for it.

📍 Meeting point
\Saturday 7 November, 14:50\
Antwerpen-Centraal, main hall under the big clock
We take the \IC train at 15:06\ (towards Oostende, usually from platform 4; check the board) and get off at Gent-Dampoort at 15:58.
From there it's a short walk into the old town.
Please buy your own train ticket in the SNCB app or at the station before we leave.

🗺️ The plan
\⛵ Boat tour (if still sailing).\
About 40 minutes on the canals, past the Graslei, Korenlei, the Castle of the Counts and the three towers. Around €11 per person, paid on the spot. Boats run on winter hours in November, so if we miss the last one we'll do the same route on foot instead.

\🍽️ Dinner.\ We'll grab something to eat together in the centre. Nothing fancy: good food and a good table.

\🍻 Pub crawl:\
1. \Dulle Griet:\ a Ghent institution with hundreds of beers and a famous ritual: order the "Max" and you trade one of your shoes for it. Yes\, really.
2. \Café Folklore:\ a cosy old brown café\, one of the oldest in town.
3. \Irish pub:\ pints and karaoke. Bring your best song (or just cheer for everyone else).
4. \Publika:\ our last stop\, right by the Belfry. Later in the night it turns into a lively dancefloor.

🌙 End
Open end. Some of us will make a long night of it, but you can head home whenever it suits you. Trains back to Antwerp run until late; check the SNCB app for the last one.

💡 Good to know
- The event is free. Everyone pays their own train ticket\, boat ticket\, food and drinks.
- Wear comfy shoes (and clean socks\, because of Dulle Griet 😉) and bring a warm jacket for the boat.
- Respect "no"\, drinks included. Everyone decides for themselves what they drink and how long they stay.
\Explore and learn together, have nice drinks and just good fun.\ See you on Saturday, amigos!
