Yesterday I visited the city of Gent in Belgium. I have never visited a city in Belgium before and that is weird actually, because it is so close by. Gent for instance is only a 2 hour drive from Zoetermeer in the Netherlands. I thought that cities in Belgium would be grey, old and boring. Gent is old and sometimes the old buildings do look kind of grey, but hey they are very old. Some of the cathedrals are more than 500 years old! But Gent is absolutely not boring.
Below we walk on the St.Michielsbrug (St. Michiels bridge) and you have a wonderful view. This bridge crosses the river Leie
Gent looks far from boring, so much detail, to me it looks like a Disneyland on steroids! I'd love to visit.

Veel Belgische steden zijn prachtig met hun mooie oude gebouwen. Mooie foto.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was the same...Main Street Disneyland. No cars allowed on that street? Nice.
ReplyDeleteThey say 100 miles is a long way in Europe and 100 years is a long time in America :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning backdrop of buildings for the colourful hustle and bustle of modern life. The history!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, you're lucky to live in a part of the world that has so much architectural history. These buildings are amazing & so incredibly old!
ReplyDeleteWie van Gent houd moet zeker een keer naar Brugge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hot by the way
Belgische stadjes zijn erg oud en erg mooi. Gent is prachtig, heb er ook eens een boottocht gemaakt, weer heel anders dan in Amsterdam, in een open boot met parapluus achterin voor als het gaat regenen.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like incredibly old and beautiful buildings. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteI think I would go back again and again!
