🇧🇪 Ghent | A Harry Potter-esque Haven for Introverts

✨ The Magic of Ghent After Bruges (see previous post!), Ghent felt like stepping into Hogwarts meets Gilmore Girls’ Stars Hollow. With its gothic towers, misty canals, and autumn drizzle, this city wrapped me in a warm, introvert-friendly charm. 🏰 Must-See Spells (Sights) 1️⃣ Belfry of Ghent 🔔 Didn’t climb but adored its dragon-topped silhouette. (Sunset = golden hour magic!) 2️⃣ Stadshal 🏛️ A modern-meets-medieval covered square ("European square-dancing spot"). 3️⃣ St. Michael’s Bridge 🌉 Postcard-perfect canal views + bustling cafés below. 4️⃣ St. Michael’s Church ⛪️ Sunlight through stained glass = straight out of the Wizarding World. 5️⃣ Graffiti Street 🎨 Hidden chocolate shops between vibrant murals! ☕️ Cozy Nooks for Introverts Mokabon: A locals-only coffee den in a shadowy alley (follow the aroma!). Du Progres: Try waterzooi (creamy chicken stew)—comfort food at its finest. Caffè Rosario: Adorable cups + prime Belfry people-watching. Peaberry Coffeebar: Morning hugs in liquid form (baristas remembered my order 😭). 🛏️ Hotel Harmony Canal-side serenity + a kiwi tree outside my door (actual kiwis growing!). Pro tip: Stay inside the old town—Gent-Sint-Pieters station is a trek. 🌧️ Why Ghent Heals Introverts No pressure: Wander empty alleys at dusk, dine solo with zero stares, and let the lantern-lit canals be your therapy. Vibe: "A bookish fairytale where you’re both protagonist and background extra." #Ghent #Belgium #SoloTravel #IntrovertParadise #HarryPotterVibes
