SUCH an underrated city. I spent a day there back in 2022 and it's so pretty, calm, peaceful, fucking fantastic chocolatiers...
Actually, as an American, I found all of Belgium highly underrated. Everyone always talks about Paris, Berlin, and Munich as the crazy big tourist destinations in that region.
I went to Brussels for my birthday in spring 2022, and its easily one of my favorite birthdays to date. Unf. Big Belgium Fangirl here. 10/10 I want everyone I know to visit.
