The Fifa World Cup 2018 is coming! A tournament that brings countries and people together, but also brings a healthy dose of rivalry. Are you traveling in Ghent? Then discover the 4 best places to enjoy the different games below.

De Croone

Looking for a typical authentic Belgian pub to enjoy an exciting football match. Then the Croone is the perfect spot for you.
This small but very cosy bar is located in the heart of the historical city centre of Ghent and is therefore easily accessible for every tourist.

The building, the interior and the atmosphere mirror the historical character of Ghent.

A good vibe and amusement are assured here during the Fifa World Cup.
A big bonus is the extensive beer menu so you can taste the best Belgian beers during the game.

Zebra beach

Combine the Fifa World Cup with a tropical holiday feeling at Zebra beach. This popup summer bar with a small beach is the ideal place to enjoy the games from a relaxing chair, watching the big screen. Meanwhile, cool down in the plunge pool or have a delicious cocktail with some tasty snacks.

Zebra beach is not far from the city centre of Ghent, but is easily accessible on foot, by bike or public transport.
Because this bar is completely enclosed by buildings, it is the prefect place to escape the hustle of the city. Therefore also a very child-friendly environment.

O’ learys

If you prefer to watch the game with other sports fanatics,  O’learys is the place to be. This bar is a typical American sports bar where you can enjoy watching different types of sports on multiple screens. Meanwhile, you can enjoy tasty American snacks, such as delicious burgers.

Do you need some variety during the game or do you not feel like going home straight away, play a game of bowl or miniature golf.
With all the different entertainment possibilities, this is a perfect place for a family activity.

The Celtic Towers

The Celtic towers is one of the many great Irish pubs in Ghent. But it is definitely the best one to watch the Fifa World Cup.
Not only is it located in the heart of the historical centre of Ghent, but it open every day, all day. The Celtic towers has everything a good Irish pub needs to have: sports, Guinness, delicious Irish food and a great atmosphere!

A really huge asset is that you can watch the game on multiple screens.
If you are looking for an amazing time, look no further because Celtic Towers is the place to be.

These 4 bars are some of the many awesome places Ghent has to offer and they broadcast all the different games.
So now that you know where to head, enjoy the Fifa World Cup and the fine Belgium beer. May the best team win!

Would you like to plan an unforgettable trip? Then be sure to check out this useful overview of my personal travel tips!

Skyscanner is the place-to-be to book flights. This useful travel comparison website helps you find great deals for numerous destinations. Because I travel a lot, I often use airport parking. I already had good experiences with Parkos and Quickparking.

Booking accommodations is super easy through booking.com. Not only will you find plenty of stays and great deals, but by setting the filters you can quickly find an accommodation that meets all your needs.

When you're planning to rent a car during your trip, you should definitely opt for Sunny Cars. This transparent company collaborates with local car rental companies and ensures that all insurances ares already included when you book the car. So you don't have to worry about extra costs when picking up your car.

Would you like to travel with public transport from one destination to another? Then 12togo is the place to be. Here you can easily find transfers in several countries.

Being a travel blogger I get a lot of questions about which photography equipment I use to photograph my travels.

I shoot with full-frame system camera: Nikon Z6II. I have a few lenses, but these 3 are my absolute favorites when traveling:

• All-round lens: NIKKOR Z 24-70 mm f/2.8. (I shoot almost everything with this. Are you just starting to shoot? Then I would recommend this lens)
• Wide-angle lens: NIKKOR Z 14-24 mm f/2.8. (Architecture, interior, landscapes,...)
• Zoom lens: Nikkor NIKKOR Z 70-200 mm f/2.8. (Wildlife,...)

A tripod is also important if you want to take pictures of yourself, or if you want to photograph with a low shutter speed (dark space, night photography, waterfall,...). I use one from Sirui. For videos to post on  my social media channels with I use my iPhone. When I travel alone I take my Joby GripTight GorillaPod PRO 2 with me. It's a small, useful tripod that I can attach to anything. Do you want to learn more about how to take the best vacation photos? Then take a look at my e-book where I share all my photography tips. Would you like to be able to edit your holiday photos quickly and beautifully? Then my Lightroom presets are an absolute must-have.
