Ghent is one of the top ten cities to visit in 2011 according to Lonely Planet

In Lonely Planet's top ten cities for 2011 list, Ghent is placed seventh. Lonely Planet states that Ghent is "a secret within a secret: Ghent might just be the best European city you’ve never thought of visiting, in a country that continues to be criminally overlooked". Lonely Planet furthermore says that Ghent has a lot to offer, with both centuries-old grand houses, spires and great panoramas of water and one of Europe's most dynamic festival scenes. In 2011 Ghent will have finished a mayor program of rebuilding, so it will be at its best next year. Lonely Planet's list is topped by New York, because of the reopening of the WTC-site, with a memorial park. Numbers two and Three on the list are Tangier in Morocco and Tel Aviv in Israel.
