Ghent: A hidden Gem in Belgium with similar history and vibe as Brugge, with fewer tourists

#getgoing2025 Brugge, a world heritage site, is now flooded with tourists. However, just less than 30 minutes car ride from Brugge, you can reach to another city, Ghent, a hidden Gem in Belgium with similar history and vibe as Brugge, with fewer tourists. It locates even closer than Brugge from Brussels. Ghent, like Brugge, was also one of the biggest and richest cities in Northern Europe in medieval age. It's historic center is still well preserved and you may visit the stunning cathedrals and churches, as well as the lovely medieval houses. It has fewer tourists and not overcrowded which means you can enjoy the historic vibe. #belgium #history #europe #heritage
