I called this city a hidden gem for the simple fact that there were not so many tourists when we visited, here comparing with Ghent, Dinant, Brussels or Dinant.
And yes I found it an amazing city.
If I had to choose where to go back I would definitely choose Ghent, Antwerp and Dinant, no way Brussels (this city left me with a bitter taste) apart from the fact that I encountered protests, lots of police, I haven't written anything about Bruges because I didn't get to go there.
Don't get me wrong, Belgium has other amazing places, but I haven't managed to visit them all yet, maybe on another visit.
I'm glad that for a few moments I was able to remind you of this city.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
