Having been there a few times, I find Paris rather cold…
Aside from the big landmarks : Notre-Dame, the major museums, the famous monuments... everything around them feels pretty grey and dull overall.
Maybe I just went at the wrong time, but honestly, there's nothing extraordinary about it.

In general, most big European capitals are quite disappointing.

Brussels, though... aside from a few really rough areas and some no-go zones, actually has some very nice spots.
It's just a shame that mass immigration is destroying so much of it.



Bruges and Ghent, and Flemish towns in general, are beautiful, but it's best to go off-season.
Otherwise the tourists ruin the whole atmosphere.

I will contest that these cities were an incredible place to be 10 or 20 years ago.

Belgian infrastructure is balls though. It always has been. Maybe that is why they are one of the few European nations who are not in debt.

And as for Brugge, I can also confirm that it has been shagged by tourists.
