Morning
SMAK and, when open, the Museum voor Schone Kunsten make a good double act – a stimulating mixture of fine art and pure provocation. Get these under your belt early in the day (note that they’re closed on Mon). Trams 1 and 10 run from the central Korenmarkt to Charles de Kerchovelaan, from where you can walk through or beside the Citadelpark to the museums. These will absorb the greater part of the morning; you can break for refreshments at SMAK’s café. For lunch, head back into the city centre. The Korenmarkt is equidistant from two enticing and contrasting lunch options: the dynamic Pakhuis (see Brasserie Pakhuis), and the medieval Groot Vleeshuis (see Groot Vleeshuis).
Afternoon
Now go to Sint-Baafskathedraal to see the Mystic Lamb (see The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb). Then you can go up the Belfort (see Belfort) to get a view over the city. Now it’s back to the Korenmarkt, stopping off at the Sint-Niklaaskerk (see Sint-Niklaaskerk), then over to the Graslei and Korenlei (see Graslei and Korenlei) to drink in the views. This could be the time to take a canal trip. From the Korenlei, walk along Jan Breydelstraat and take the first right into Rekelingestraat to reach the Gravensteen (Castle of the Counts). Then cross the Zuivelbrug and take Meerseniersstraat to the Vrijdagmarkt (Friday Market) for beer at Dulle Griet (see Dulle Griet) and chips with mayonnaise at Frituur Jozef (see Frituur Jozef).
