• In the morning make a walk in the town centre and don’t miss the following places:
• Grand Place and the Town Hall. The central square of Brussels is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful town squares in the world. Surrounded by the decorative 17the century guild houses, the impressive City Hall and the Maison du Roi (now the Brussels City Museum) it’s a place not to be missed. My favourite time to go is in the evening when the crowds are smaller and the buildings are nicely lit.
• Manneken Pis. The little ‘peeing boy’ is said to have saved the city from the fire and is an ultimate symbol of Brussels. The iconic bronze statue will surprise you with its small size. Depending on the day you visit, you might see him naked or dressed. Manneken Pis has over 960 costumes for all kinds of different occasions. The little guy even has his own website.
• Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. The 19th-century pedestrian gallery with numerous boutiques and restaurants is not to be missed.
• St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral. Finished in the beginning of the 16th century, the impressive Gothic cathedral took over 300 years to build. It is here that all significant Belgian monarchy’s celebrations take place: coronations, weddings, and state funerals.
• Royal Palace of Brussels. The official palace of the Belgian King in the centre of Brussels is used for all kinds of official events and can be visited from the end July till beginning of September. The Royal family itself lives in the Castle of Laeken, on the outskirts of Brussels.
• Mont des Arts. This ‘hill of the arts’ is a nice garden overlooking the Sablon area and the City Hall of Brussels.
• Brussels Stock Exchange. Impressive architecture.
• Royal Palace in Brussels Belgium
• In the afternoon take a metro to the Heysel area and visit the Atomium. If you have an hour to spare, you may want to see Mini Europe as well. It’s one of the nicest family-friendly attractions in Brussels. Combination tickets are available for both attractions.
• In the evening head back to the city centre of Brussels, see the nicely lit Grand Place and check out the famous dining area – Rue des Bouchers. I don’t advise dining here as the restaurants are real tourist traps, but this street has such a unique atmosphere that no visit to Brussels would be complete without passing by here. A bit hidden out of sight, the ‘sister’ of the Manneken Pis – Jeanneke Pis can be found in a small alley next to the Rue des Bouchers.

• Some practical tips for visiting Brussels:

• Brussels is a good base for exploring Belgium. There are direct train connections to all the major towns.

Where to eat. Like in many cities, there are many good restaurants in Brussels, but there are real tourist traps as well. One of our favourites for traditional Belgian food in the centre of Brussels is ‘t Kelderke located right on the Grand Place. Despite its central location, this restaurant managed to maintain high quality standards for many years. Last weekend we discovered a really nice Italian restaurant – Spago that I would also recommend.
