Sint-Niklaas

Belgium's largest market square anchors Sint-Niklaas, a Flemish city in East Flanders between Antwerp and Ghent. The square has hosted record-breaking seasonal spectacles and gives the walkable centre a generous open heart, surrounded by historic churches and a dense food-and-drink scene. Capital of the Waasland region, the city sits close to the river Scheldt and within easy reach of the Dutch province of Zeeland across the nearby border.
