Get Out of the Center

While staying within city limits, go away from the tourist traps to find real locals. Look for smaller restaurants and bars, even a place that might not have an English menu!

Hostel Bars

Although the people working in the hostel may not be from the place, they most likely know the city well. A lot of hostels also have pubs, great for striking up a conversation, even if you aren’t staying there.

Bruges

Bruges is an extraordinarily beautiful city in the Northwestern region of the country. What is so distinct about Brugges is its number of canals that flow throughout the city, making you feel like you’re in Venice or Amsterdam. There are also many cobblestone streets and small alleyways full of charm. Just sitting by one of the canals with a hot drink is a great way to experience the city and people watch.

When you’re in Bruges, make sure you see the Belfry, which is a medieval clock tower in the city center. It is located in the Markt, or Market Square, in the city. All around the square are churches, stores, and restaurants that are built so beautifully you feel like you’re inside a snowglobe. Although Bruges is small, it is still worth a visit, even if you just have one day.

Antwerp

Antwerp is one of the biggest cities in Belgium behind Brussels and has so much character and history behind it. It is one of the biggest centers for diamond trade in the world, with over than $220 million worth of diamonds passing through every day. To celebrate this trade, Antwerp is home to the Antwerp Diamond Museum, which displays large diamonds, pieces of jewelry, and details on the history of the city’s involvement with diamonds.

If you are looking to be blown away by Flemish Gothic architecture, you must go and visit the Grote Markt. This is a square in the center of the old city, and it is where the city hall is located, along with many shops and restaurants. It is also very close to the Scheldt river, which is lovely to take a walk alongside.

Brussels

Brussels is the busiest city in Belgium, and there is always a lot going on. When you’re in Brussels, prepare to get blown away by the Grand-Place, a certified UNESCO World Heritage Site in the city center. This establishment is surrounded by amazing guildhalls and the city hall, which was constructed in the 15th century.

The Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert is another must-see when in Brussels. This building was one of the first covered shopping areas in Europe, built in the 19th century. There are three unbelievable halls that will truly wow you. The shops inside are very posh, but if you are looking to dream a little and window shop, it is definitely the place to be.

It is a real hidden treasure buried deep in Europe, waiting to be uncovered. So visit Ukraine if you are looking for rich architecture and an all around good time.

Kiev

Kiev is the capital and largest city in Ukraine. This is a place that you could probably recognize from its many monuments and buildings but not put a name to it. Simply walk around Kiev and find one beautifully adorned church after another. One of the most famous churches in Kiev and one of the oldest in the world is Saint Sophia’s Cathedral. There is also the monastery of Kiev Pechersk Lavra, and its most famous building, Uspenski Cathedral. This monastery is located right in the heart of the city and is completely a must-see in Kiev.

Kiev also has many usual things to do you wouldn’t normally find on vacation. Visit the One Street Museum for the beautiful collections of over 7,000 keepsakes and antiques from Ukraine, as well as something quite unique; death masks. Death masks are a mold of a person’s face after they pass away, and the director of this museum has searched the globe for ones of the most prominent scientists, artists, and writers. Some of the masks include that of Sir Isaac Newton, Anna Pavlova, and Leon Trotsky. Although it doesn’t seem like the most cheerful thing to do on vacation, it is really an experience worth having.

Odessa

If you’re looking to take a bit of a more mellow vacation while in Ukraine, travel down south to Odessa. This city is right on the coast of the Black Sea and as beautiful sandy beaches, which is rare in the area as many in Ukraine and elsewhere in the region are rocky. Odessa is a fun beach city with a lot of history, including buildings like the Vorontsov Palace, and the Holy Assumption Cathedral. What’s perfect about Odessa is that it gets warm enough in the summer to enjoy tanning at the beach, but not hot enough to stop you from walking around this enchanting city.

Restaurants

Odessa has been booming in its gastronomical community. You can experience so many types of cuisines all in one place, and usually with a uniquely Ukranian touch. If you’re looking for a refined but true Ukranian meal, go to Kuraneats. This restaurant is in the city center and says Ukraine from the decor to the traditional dishes, served elegantly and with class. Columbus is the restaurant to go if you are looking to taste the fruits of the Black Sea. This restaurant focuses on seafood, sourced locally by the bountiful Black Sea.
