Wow thank you sooo much ❤ this is one of the best travel guide videos I have ever seen. Compact, accurate, specific useful detail, and most importantly honest personal opinion 👍👍👍👍 please continue making such videos
We visited Bruges for the first time afew months ago, it's gorgeous. We would love to see the Christmas markets there. Ghent looks beautiful. This place is on our travel list for sure. We've been to Brussels, but didn't enjoy it as much as Bruges. This looked like a great trip. Cheers 🍻
Been living in Belgium for 30+ years and I still manage to find new cool places to visit. Travelled to other places, if I didn't live near Brussels, i might maybe live in Zwitserland, but otherwise, I see no better country to live in.
One advice : avoid taking taxis. They are expensive. If you do have to take one (eg you are carrying a ton of luggage too cumbersome for public transport) official taxis come in all shapes and colours but they always carry a 'T-X" numberplate.
Trust me you only need an hour to see everything worth seeing in Brussels. So on your way to Bruges or somewhere more interesting stop in Brussels, see the Grand Place, and if you must, see the Mannekin Pis, then head out of Brussels. Also it is the only European city where I have had things thrown at me for walking while non-white.
Aw thank you! So sorry normally I would, but I didn’t actually didn’t make a proper map this time. (Like from my video tutorial) This is just showing all the places I favorited while I was on my trip! So the favorites only show up on my phone/account
Why don't you try french speaking cities next time like Nalur, Dinant and Liège for instance ? You would be amazed too (and I know what I am writing about !)
Hey, we plan to do one day trips to brugge and ghent from Brussels, what time should we reach the 2 places.. we plan to reach by 10;30 and leave by 6… is that right?
10.30 is ok as you avoid rush hour (7-9) but in the evening there is no avoiding possible I guess, rush hour is from about 16h to 19h. On a positive note, it's an occasion to see many natives in their natural habitat.
Hello!! It depends what you’re looking for- we wanted Christmas markets so we went in late November & it was magical. But if you prefer warmer weather you might want to go another time. There are pros and cons to each season there, so completely up to you!

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard that’s why I wasn’t upset to miss it and spend our time in Bruges and Ghent instead!!
Brussels is great! Def check out the puppet show. There’s also a ton of good beer, delirium, and the food!
I’ll definitely have to go back and check it out! :)

We love your videos and find the google maps a great help. Is there any chance you can upload your google maps locations for Belgium?

belgium has three official languages. Dutch is spoken by 60% of the population, French 39%, and German 1%
Oh wow I didn’t know about the German part! Thanks for sharing :)
I went on a kayaking tour on of the rivers next to Ghent and one of my friends' kayak had a hole in it so they sank 😂
Omg no!😂😂 that’s awful!!
They started with a kayak and ended with a submarine.
Tourists in Flanders should know how to swim , a lot of canals in Flanders .
Why don't you try french speaking cities next time like Nalur, Dinant and Liège for instance ? You would be amazed too (and I know what I am writing about !)
Yeah maybe next time!!
