After visiting so many cities all over Europe, I think this is one of the most stunning, underrated medieval cities that is truly an architectural wonder. Walking through this place truly felt like stepping back in time….

This is the picturesque town of Ghent, Belgium 🇧🇪

Frequently described as a real-life “Hogwarts” due to its medieval architecture, misty canals, and gothic buildings, Ghent needs to be on your travel bucket list! Explore Graslei, Korenlei, and the Gravensteen castle and you’ll see why people often say they’re reminiscent of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

Must visit places in @visitgent:

🏰 Gravensteen Castle (10th-century)
🏘️ Stroll Graslei & Korenlei
🛶 Take a scenic boat ride through the canals
✨ Saint Michael’s Bridge: panoramic views of the city’s spires
🔔 Climb the Belfry for best city views
🖼️ Visit the Hotel d’Hane Steenhuyse
⛪️ St. Bavo’s Cathedral and see the famous Ghent Altarpiece
🎨 Walk along Graffiti Street
✨ See the city glow at night
🍺 Grab a giant beer at De Dulle Griet
⛪️ Be awe-inspired at St. Nicholas’ Church

Stay @ghentmarriott right in the city center, just steps from Saint Michael’s Bridge, the gateway into the city

Save the Egyptian Empress Theater in Montreal (named after a Templar city) it is an irreplaceable Egyptian Themed work of Architecture in a Five Hundred Year Old People of Normandy founded state.
