The Underrated Heart of Europe 🇧🇪

**The Underrated Heart of Europe 🇧🇪 This Hidden Gem of a Country is So Surprising!** Who says Belgium 🇧🇪 is just a transit point in Europe? While it's true that it serves as a convenient stopover, this country, with its medieval castles and hidden canal secrets, is actually a seriously underrated heart of Europe! I spent three days exploring Brussels, Ghent, and Bruges, and here's my travel guide for you to follow directly👇 📍 **D1 Brussels** 🚂 **Transportation:** Brussels Airport → City Center by train in 18 minutes 📷 **Must-See Spots:** - **Grand Place:** Known as the most beautiful square in Europe, the Gothic architecture looks stunning in the sunset! - **Manneken Pis:** The top attraction in Brussels, and now there's also a popular "Manneken Pisette" (a peeing girl statue)! - **Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert:** A beautiful shopping arcade with several good chocolate shops. - **58 Rooftop:** An excellent spot to watch the sunset! 📍 **D2 Ghent, a Gothic City with a Magical Charm, Combining the Atmosphere of Edinburgh and Amsterdam** 🚂 **Transportation:** Brussels → Ghent by train in 30 minutes 📷 **Must-See Spots:** - **St. Michael's Bridge:** The most photogenic bridge in Ghent! You can capture three towers in one frame plus the canal reflections. Visiting in the evening to catch the sunset is absolutely stunning! The blue hour was particularly breathtaking! - **Korenlei & Graslei:** The riverbanks are lined with colorful houses. Sitting by the river in the evening, watching the reflections and daydreaming is incredibly soothing! - **Belfry Top:** A great sunset viewing platform, but unfortunately, it closes at 6 pm, so you can't wait for the sunset in summer. - **Gravensteen (Castle of the Counts):** A 12th-century castle. Climbing the tower gives you a panoramic view of the entire city. - **St. Bavo's Cathedral:** It houses the mysterious Ghent Altarpiece, also known as "The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb." 📍 **D3 Bruges, a Medieval Water City Straight Out of a Fairy Tale, Super Beautiful! You Must Visit!** 🚂 **Transportation:** Ghent → Bruges by train in 24 minutes 📷 **Must-See Spots:** - **Market Square Belfry:** Climb the 366 steps for an amazing view of the sea of red roofs. Be sure to book in advance! We went without a reservation and couldn't get tickets for the same day. - **Minnewater Lake:** The green grass by the lake is perfect for taking atmospheric photos, and you can see flocks of swans. - **Boniface Bridge:** The most romantic stone bridge in Bruges. You can capture the Church of Our Lady from the bridge. - **Rozenhoedkaai:** The most beautiful section of the canal, with Bruges Belfry and colorful houses in the background. Every photo you take here looks like a postcard! - **Church of Our Lady:** It houses a genuine Michelangelo sculpture, "Madonna and Child." This small country of Belgium, with its rich history and charming medieval towns, is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Europe. Whether you're exploring the stunning architecture of Brussels, the magical atmosphere of Ghent, or the fairy-tale beauty of Bruges, you're sure to be amazed by what this underrated destination has to offer. #JustSetOff#IAmAHappyDoer#BelgianTravel#Brussels#Ghent#Bruges
