The Kouter flower market
The Kouter is a broad, elegant square that hosts Ghent's beloved Sunday flower market. It's also been called the Paardenmarkt — the horse market — because it's had several lives. Come on a Sunday morning and the square fills with buckets of blooms, the city's morning ritual. Come any other day and it's a calm space ringed by handsome buildings. Either way, it's a square that understands pleasure.
