Graslei (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣrɑslɛi]; English: Grass Quay) is a quay in the historic city center of Ghent, Belgium, located on the right bank of the Leie river. The quay opposite of the Graslei is called Korenlei. Both quays were part of the medieval port and are now a cultural and touristic hotspot of the city, with a high concentration of café patios.[1] The site, with its unique row of historical buildings, is a protected cityscape.[2]
