Ghent, Belgium

Upon arrival in Ghent, we’re greeted by the tantalizing aroma of chocolates (yeah, chatGPT exaggerates sometimes). The city is a paradise for chocolate lovers, with numerous artisanal chocolatiers offering mouthwatering treats. We are not really chocolate people but we gave in. We bought couple of chocolate bars, specially those lactose free ones. Ghent’s beer scene is equally impressive, with cozy pubs (one of which is literally adjacent to a church, coincedence?) and beer houses inviting us to sample a wide variety of brews. Cheers to that!

Ghent’s charm lies in its ability to blend eccentricity with a laid-back attitude, creating a unique and enjoyable experience.
