Trommelstraat is a short, narrow passage connecting the bustling retail core to the older parts of Ghent. Its name comes from the Dutch word for drum, pointing toward a time when city watchmen or town criers used the street to signal news. While the cobblestones feel quiet today, they sit over the path of a medieval defensive wall. You can find the street by spotting the deep, narrow gap between the newer facades, which still follows the exact line of the original fortifications.
