Rothenburg Christmas market! Unfortunately it closed so early that we didn’t get to go to it after dinner, which was sad. Also the famous Plonlein. Rothenburg is so beautiful. If you like beautifully preserved medieval walled cities, this is a gem.

I admit, living in a medieval city is a joy ( I lived in Brussels for ten years,) , feels very much like home. Living in a 400 year old house is a bit difficult, they are cold, draughty and the plumbing and electricity is iffy

I grew up in England for a stretch. The local pub down the end of the road had been there since 1480. Still had the same wooden beams at head height throughout.

I actually was extremely underwhelmed by Brussels. I loved Bruge though.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Bruge is nice for tourists . Brussels is nice to live in.. 😊 I found Ghent and Tongeren interesting.
