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.

The Markt square buzzes with energy while the peaceful Minnewater "Lake of Love" offers a romantic escape from the crowds. Traditional Flemish taverns serve up hearty stews and local beers in buildings older than your great-grandparents' grandparents.

Chocolate shops tempt with pralines made on-site, while local breweries serve Trappist ales in goblets that demand to be savoured, not gulped. The Markt square buzzes with activity beneath its soaring Gothic architecture. Take a boat tour where guides point out details you'd otherwise miss, then visit the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which houses a relic that would be the plot of a thriller novel if it weren't actually true.
