Which area of Ghent is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?

Many hotels here are accustomed to welcoming pets due to the area's popularity with tourists.

Couples travelling with a pet will find Patershol particularly appealing. This district, just north of the Gravensteen, is known for its narrow, winding alleys and a good selection of restaurants with outdoor seating, superb for dining with your furry companion. It offers a quieter, more residential feel while still being right in the middle of the action.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Ghent?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Ghent?

The park is also home to the S.M.A.K. (Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art) and the Museum of Fine Arts, though dogs aren't permitted inside the buildings themselves.

Another excellent option is to take a canal-side walk. Many of Ghent's historic centre streets run alongside the canals, providing scenic routes that are superb for a leash-led exploration. You can wander along the Graslei and Korenlei, admiring the medieval guildhalls, and continue towards the Gravensteen Castle, exploring the surrounding streets. Most outdoor terraces at cafes and pubs welcome well-behaved dogs, allowing you to stop for a drink or a bite to eat.
