St Bavo's & the Ghent Altarpiece

⛪ Church / Cathedral ★★★★★

The cathedral is free; the treasure is Van Eyck's Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (1432) — the restored altarpiece glows, and the AR visit walks you through its theft-riddled history.

💡 How to save

Included in the CityCard Gent. The basic altarpiece view (without AR glasses) is cheaper; sacristy concerts are sometimes free.
