  1. It still looks like this. Now do one for Brussels, Antwerp or Ostends and feel te depression seep in

  2. Locations:

    1. Saint Michael’s Bridge
    2. Saint Michael’s Bridge
    3. Old Post Office (Korenmarkt)
    4. Gravensteen

  3. The way cars and pedestrians share the same space is terrifying, both from the perspective of the driver and the ped.

  4. Been there last year and recognized it directly !

    This city is absolutely gorgeous ! The whole historical center is pretty much closed to cars, it’s really enjoyable.

  5. Damn crazy to think i’ve been to more or less all of these spots quite often starting like 40-50 years post this footage, all are very recognisable still, just no more trams on one of the bridges they’ve shown from what i can tell
