The historic centre on day one, and on day two what the city has that is its own: the comic-strip mural route, the Magritte museum, the European quarter and the Cinquantenaire park. Two days is the right size for Brussels; with more, take the train to Bruges or Ghent.

💡It is the best base in Belgium
Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp are all under an hour away by train, leaving every half hour. If you have four days, do not spend them all here: sleep in Brussels and go out for the day — it is cheaper and you see three more cities.
💡Brussels is bilingual and it shows in everything
Signs are in French and Dutch, and streets have two names. In practice French is spoken more in the city, and English works almost everywhere. Starting in French and switching if it does not land is what locals do.
💡Avoid restaurants with photos on the door
Rue des Bouchers, next to the Grand Place, is the classic trap: waiters calling you in and inflated prices. Chips are eaten standing at a friterie, mussels are ordered in season and the good beer is in neighbourhood bars, not on the square.
