[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been to Ghent, Bruges, and Brussels.

Brussels is definitely not a Tier 1 tourist city.  But it is a capital.

Bruges is a cute city and you can do a canal tour there as well.

I would skip Ghent.  But I would do at least one city in Belgium.  Probably Brussels because it is a capital.

[b]I enjoyed a day trip to a little medieval town outside of Paris called Provins[/b].  You can take the train from Paris and spend all day there.  Although Bruges is a more major city, keeping it on your itinerary locks you into continued movement.  If you just budget that day for Paris instead, you can adjust your time in Paris as needed.

If you like medieval history, go to the Hotel Cluny Medieval Art Museum in Paris.  It contains objects that are similar to the ones you might see in Ghent and Bruges if you went into Gothic monuments.[/quote]

Thanks. I will look into this.

I can't say I'm into medieval history, more into architecture - I could browse a building for hours - If I have guests, I take them to the Library of Congress because its so beautiful.

Is the castle in Ghent not worth visiting? That is the main reason I planned to visit Ghent. I thought the kids would be interested in seeing a real castle with a moat.
