This summer I'll visit Gent again. I was there four years ago and it was such a nice surprise for me... What a nice city! The most beautiful of Belgium, no doubt about it

BTW, planning my trip to Belgium this summer I have some doubts... What could I visit near (near=around 1 hour of train) Brugge, apart of Brussels and Gent? I've been in Antwerpen but I think I had enough visiting it once...
I've thought in Ypres, but I don't know if it's nice enough... :roll:

Do go to Ypres/Ieper. See the Museum of the First World War ("Flanders Field Museum"), it's very interesting.
