Top Architecture in Belgium

Get to Market Square early, around 8 AM, to catch the stunning morning light and enjoy the square without the crowds. I loved taking photos without bumping into other tourists!

I think visiting in the off-peak season, like late September, gives you a much more pleasant experience. The weather was still decent, but way fewer tourists.

Be sure to take a stroll around the Belfry after you explore the square. The views from the top are incredible but get your tickets online to skip the long line!

I think the audio guide is totally worth it. It immerses you in the rich history much more than just wandering around. I almost skipped it and would’ve regretted it big time!

Try to visit around 10 AM or 4 PM to avoid the biggest crowds and catch some lovely light for pictures. Trust me, the early risers are rewarded with a more peaceful experience

Check out the Last Post ceremony at 8 PM. It's a touching tribute and truly adds depth to your visit, so plan your day around it!

If you're into history, grab a small guidebook or download an app before you go. It’ll enhance your understanding of the memorial and its significance.

If you're into photography, aim to go around golden hour – closer to sunset. The light through the stained glass is pure magic, and I kicked myself for not planning it better!
