Take a dreamy boat ride through the "Venice of the North" before exploring the towering Belfry or admiring Michelangelo's Madonna in the Church of Our Lady. The cobblestone streets lead to hidden chocolate shops and cozy beer cafés. Car-free streets make walking a pleasure, though you'll want sturdy shoes for those charming cobblestones. Traditional Flemish cuisine shines in medieval taverns, while boutique hotels in converted historic buildings offer the perfect base for your explorations. Visit early morning or evening to dodge the crowds and soak up the romantic atmosphere.
