A week in Brussels

Seven days in Brussels without seven days of sightseeing. The plan slows down in the middle, which is what a week is for.

  • Balanced pace
  • Mid-range budget
Plan your own Brussels trip

Every place here was checked on 2026-10-20 or later, and each one says where it came from.
