It's been so long since I've been there, but it's such a beautiful city. I remember looking out over the canals in awe at the beauty at night one evening, after leaving an incredible pub with so many not-so-common traditional Belgian bottled beers. There were also a couple of a craft beer pubs on a canal/lake while I was there. Such a good time!
