What's included

Every booking includes the elements below — handled by our concierge team before your visit and confirmed at the gate.

• Timed-entry admission to the whole castle — choose your day and slot • The free audioguide voiced by comedian Wouter Deprez — knights, battles and beheadings, told with humour • The ramparts, the keep, the count's residence and the historic rooms • Mobile e-ticket with QR code — show your phone at the gate • Reduced rate for visitors aged 19 to 25 — please bring photo ID showing your age

Who this is for

This ticket is the reduced-rate option for visitors aged 19 to 25, covering the full Gravensteen — ramparts, keep and the count's residence — on a timed entry, with the comedic audioguide included free. Please bring photo ID showing your age, as it may be checked at the gate. The castle has steep, uneven medieval stairs and no lift, so the upper levels suit reasonably mobile visitors; the courtyard and lower rooms remain rewarding for everyone.

On the day

Show your mobile e-ticket and your photo ID at the gate at your chosen time slot, collect the audioguide handset inside, and let comedian Wouter Deprez walk you through the castle's bloody history as you explore the ramparts, the keep and the count's residence. Allow about 60 to 90 minutes for the castle and the full audioguide, and a little longer at the top of the keep for the view over Ghent.
