The Best City You've Never Visited | 2 Days Exploring Gent (Ghent) Belgium

Most tourists skip Gent and head straight for Bruges. They're wrong. We spent two days exploring this incredible "fairy-tale" city to see if it really is the hidden gem everyone says it is. From the stunning canal views, amazing food, and quirky shopping, Gent surprised us at every turn. In this guide, we’re sharing our honest experience of a weekend in Gent. We take you through the medieval streets, show you the best viewpoints, and finally try the famous local "Bee's Bums" (Cuberdons). Are they actually a Belgian delicacy, or just a sugary trap for tourists?
