Atyudarini, our daughter has been traveling with us since she was 3 months old. Actually, her first few places to visit were the Art & History Museum, Halle Gate & Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels itself (where she was born), when she was about 4-5 weeks old (in 3 different days). She saw her first ever UNESCO World Heritage Site around 5 weeks old - Grand Place of Brussels which was so beautifully lit with Christmas lights!!!!
Her first ever trip outside of Brussels was a day-trip to the nearby city of Mechelen whose Belfry & Beguinage were her 2nd & 3rd UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Her first ever trip with an overnight stay was to Brugge whose Historic City Centre was her 4th UNESCO World Heritage Site! Her first ever international travel was to Budapest, Hungary whose Historic City is a UNESCO Site. You can see many more pics of Atyudarini at UNESCO World Heritage Sites on Instagram - #AtyudariniatUNESCO
