Aww, thank you for making our night with this comment! ♥️ Indeed, we absolutely love Gent and showing people the cool sites around Belgium!

Love the cafe with wall of books. Thanks for sharing!

'''the irony of a sun dial in Belgium '' - huehuehue 😂 Ghent is lovely, way too long ago we visited ourselves. Thanks for taking us along, greetings from Hasselt 😁

@BiteSizedBelgium 2 года назад

We also haven't been to Hasselt in a hot minute! What's something you think is worth checking out in that area?

@TheHistoryHikers 2 года назад

@@BiteSizedBelgium Hasselt had some great stuff in the city center: a beguinage, the cathedral, the basilica, jenevermuseum, modemuseum... And in the outskirts we can highly recommend Abbey Herkenrode (we have a video on it on our channel) or Prinsenhof in Kuringen.

@ARM317 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this video and looking forward to more. The street art looks amazing, looking forward to seeing this!

@BiteSizedBelgium 2 года назад

Thanks a lot for your comment, Anthony! If you end of visiting Ghent let us know what some of your favorite things are. We had to cut some stuff for the sake of time, but the city holds a special place in our hearts.

@dmonaghan99 2 года назад

Great video as always, thanks. Will be visiting from Australia in December. Yay!

@BiteSizedBelgium 2 года назад

That's super exciting! I mean... the weather will be a lot colder than in Australia in December, but you'll see some beautiful Christmas markets and have a great excuse to drink genever.

The funny thing about the painting of the mystic lamb is that it was almost scrubbed by the city workers who are employed to remove illegal graffiti, they were setting up to start removing it but my best friend who works for the City of Ghent saw this and she knew it was a piece that was approved by the city. So, she ran up to the guys yelling that they had to stop because it was not an illegal piece. These city workers didn't get a memo that this work was approved and it almost disappeared the day after it was finished. After some calling around they figured it out and left the painting alone. Sure was a very close call.

@BiteSizedBelgium 2 года назад

Oh my! That is a crazy story!!! I'm so glad your friend knew what was up and was able to prevent them from removing it... she should get a medal from the city, haha.

@NonkelGans 2 года назад

@@BiteSizedBelgium She eventually will get a medal, but it will be for long service rather than saving that mural :).

good job thanks for the vid ladies

@BiteSizedBelgium Год назад

Thanks for watching, Paul! Are you interested in Gent in particular or looking for cool things to do in Belgium in general? 😊

@paulthegaull Год назад

@@BiteSizedBelgium well im english but live in antwerp. I actually wanted to suggest you include mayer van den bergh museum and the top of the mas in your videos. Maybe cinema cartoons near groenplaats and also the museum schone kunsten is restored! These things i did recently were a ton of fun! Greets paul

@BiteSizedBelgium Год назад

@@paulthegaull we actually featured the top of the MAS in our Day in Antwerp video... As for the KMSKA.... stay tuned 😉

@danabelardo8778 Год назад

Great video! Thanks for sharing all the interesting informations about the city and its sites! 🤩 Can you please advise on what are the best neighbourhoods to move into? Thank you!! ❤

@BiteSizedBelgium Год назад

It all depends on your needs! If you're a student, Het Zuid will put you close to the center, and the student party area. For something calmer, I'd go for Gentbrugge or Leideberg, which are also pretty close to one of the train stations on one side, and the beautiful Gentbrugse Meersen on the other side (biking will be the fastest to get there). If you have a car/don't mind the commute, Sint-Amandsberg or Wondelgem are both great options for a family friendly living. You can also just stick to the center itself, which is always vibrant, especially when the students are in town. Oh, and if you own a yacht and a Porsche, you should move to Sint-Martens-Latem, since that's where the rich people reside. 😉

@danabelardo8778 Год назад

@@BiteSizedBelgium Thank you soo much for all these details!! Helps a lot! I'll be sure to avoid Sint-Martens-Latem then! Haha 😂😘

@BiteSizedBelgium 2 года назад

What is your favorite thing about Liege? There are so many cute little villages in the country, it's hard for us to choose favorites.

@bertnav2 Год назад

@@BiteSizedBelgium I'm from Ghent, but also like Liége. Too long ago I was there. Visit the Guillemins station, designed by Calatrava. The Montagne de Bueren, 350+ stairs, but with a beautifull view of the city on top. Go on a sunday and enjoy the giant market along the river and don't make the mistake we did. Don't have breakfast before going to the market.

@ElizabethMBoyd 8 месяцев назад

They have many old churches and cathedrals so it has very much the holy spirit
