🇧🇪 Ghent: Belgium’s Best-Kept Secret

"Where medieval whispers meet modern magic—no crowds, just charm." ✨ 🏰 Why Ghent? No tourist hordes: A blissfully underrated alternative to Bruges. Every cobblestone tells a story: Gothic spires, canals, and time-worn alleys straight from a fairy tale. 🎨 Art & Soul St. Bavo’s Cathedral: Van Eyck’s Mystic Lamb altarpiece (the "Sistine Chapel of the North"). Hidden galleries: Patershol district’s indie art spots. 🍽️ Foodie Heaven Frites + beer by the canal at sunset = peak Belgian happiness. Local secret: Try waterzooi (creamy fish/chicken stew). 🌙 Nighttime Alchemy Golden canals: St. Michael’s Bridge at dusk. Cozy cafés: Mokabon for late-night hot chocolate. 🚤 Canal Cruise Pro Tip 30-min boat tours: Glide past mirrored medieval facades—like floating through a painting. #Ghent #HiddenEurope #MedievalVibes #SlowTravel
